WHO Issues Global Alert After Deadly Hantavirus Outbreak Linked to Cruise Ship

The head of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, holding an emergency press conference in Geneva, has issued a strict order to countries worldwide for the immediate monitoring and quarantine of all passengers who were on board the "MV Hondius" cruise ship. This alert came to light when a Dutch crew member of the ship was confirmed with the deadly "Hanta Virus" (Andes Strain), after which the total number of affected individuals has reached 12, while 3 people have already lost their lives. This dangerous virus spread through rats on this cruise ship starting from Argentina, and now more than 600 people present in 30 countries are being monitored under the severe risk of this virus spreading.

  US Deploys Explosive Sea Drones The Pakistan Times  Islamabad Times Reports indicate that for the first time, the United States has used one-way attack sea drones in a major military operation against Iran.
