Russia’s top criminal investigation agency says a senior military officer has been killed by a car bomb. Friday's killing was the second attack on a top Russian military officer in four months that Moscow has blamed on Ukraine. The victim, Lt. Gen. Yaroslav Moskalik, was a deputy head of the main operational department in the General Staff of the Russian armed forces. He was killed by an explosive device placed in his car in Balashikha just outside Moscow, Russia's capital. Investigators didn’t mention possible suspects but Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova accused Ukrainian intelligence agencies of involvement. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov also pointed at Kyiv. Neither of them offered evidence. Ukrainian officials didn't comment on the attack.
Heads of state and royalty will begin converging on Rome for Pope Francis’ funeral in the Vatican’s St. Peter’s Square, but the group of poor people who will meet his casket in a small crosstown basilica are more in keeping with Francis’ humble persona and disdain for pomp. U.S. President Donald Trump and Argentine President Javier Milei are among the leaders arriving Friday. That is the last day Argentine pope will lie in state in St. Peter’s Basilica before his coffin is sealed in preparation for his funeral Saturday. More than 150,000 mourners have waited hours in line to bid farewell to Francis, who died Monday.
Preliminary data from the U.S. Centers of Disease Control and Prevention says the U.S. has seen 8,485 cases of whooping cough in 2025. That's twice as many cases as this time last year, based on the CDC’s final tally. Rates of whooping cough started soaring last year after falling during COVID-19 because of masking and social distancing. Experts say the recent outbreaks of preventable airborne illnesses like measles and whooping cough could be indicative of changing attitudes toward vaccines. The shots, which also protect against diphtheria and tetanus, are given to infants at two months, fourth months and six months. The CDC recommends adults get follow-up doses every 10 years.
