Nine workers are presumed dead after a chemical tank ruptured at a Washington state paper mill, marking one of the deadliest U.S. workplace accidents in recent years. Rescue crews resumed search operations the day after the incident.

A Spanish court has indicted former President José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero on charges of leading a corruption network involving influence peddling connected to a €53 million government rescue of Plus Ultra airline during the pandemic. The judge's 88-page order cites intercepted communications, suspicious payments to companies linked to Zapatero and his daughters totaling over €900,000, and alleged coordination with Venezuelan and foreign actors, though critics note the indictment draws strong conclusions without always providing direct evidentiary support.
