A 28-year-old researcher at an anti-plague laboratory in Russia has died after developing severe pneumonia, prompting quarantine and medical monitoring of nearly 200 people who may have come into contact with her. Russian authorities say there is no confirmed plague outbreak and have described the illness as pneumonia of unknown origin. But questions about possible laboratory exposure, conflicting reports, and concerns about transparency have fuelled speculation. Here is what we know, and what remains unconfirmed. The U.S. is closely monitoring a potential case of pneumonic plague in Russia after a laboratory worker who studied the disease fell ill and died. Russian authorities insist there is no cause for alarm, but officials have imposed quarantines and other measures at several medical facilities in Siberia. Geoff Bennett discussed more with Annie Jacobsen, author of "Biological War: A Scenario."

You asked; we are here to answer. With many of our news desk reporters and editors working remotely because of floodwaters or wading through inundated streets to reach the newsroom, we are working nonstop to deliver real-time updates as the situation develops.Here is what we know about the flood crisis in the capital:What does a disaster declaration allow? The disaster zone declaration is a legal mechanism that allows national and local authorities quicker access to emergency funds and equipment. Part of Thailand’s broader disaster management framework, it is intended to ensure affected residents receive timely assistance and relief operations are coordinated efficiently to minimise damage.Which Bangkok districts are worst affected?Eastern fringe areas remain severely inundated, with many residents stranded in their homes with limited access to essential supplies. The hardest hit part of the capital is Lat Krabang, where there are up to 40,000 victims. Districts such as Bang Kapi, Khannayao, Lak Si and Saphan Sung continue to face high water levels. By contrast, central business corridors like Sukhumvit and Silom-Sathorn sit on higher, better-drained ground

Indonesia is facing a major volcanic emergency after reports said at least six volcanoes were erupting at the same time. Ash has risen as high as 50,000 feet and drifted roughly 150 kilometres, affecting areas as far as Jakarta. Eight airports have been shut down, and more than 2,000 flights have been delayed or cancelled. Ash has also blanketed roads and vehicles, forcing some schools to close and residents to wear masks. The largest eruption is coming from Anak Krakatau, in the Sunda Strait.Southern Ohio is facing a major 5-day flood disaster after days of relentless rainfall, with up to 7 inches of rain triggering dangerous flash flooding. Multiple water rescues were reported, a hospital was surrounded by floodwaters, and major roads and highways were closed across the region. Watch for the latest Southern Ohio flood updates, road closures, flood warnings, and weather conditions.

On August 11, 2026, a severe derecho storm caused a massive two-week blackout in Gary, Indiana. Thousands of residents were left without power until most of the service was restored by August 26, 2026.The storm brought straight-line winds of 70 to 100 mph, striking northwest Indiana and causing power outages for over 370,000 NIPSCO customers. While nearby towns quickly regained power, Gary remained in the dark for a significantly longer period.Officials and residents attributed the prolonged blackout to aging equipment, inadequate maintenance, and historical underfunding of the power infrastructure.The impact on residents was profound. Grocery stores closed, gas stations ran out of fuel, and schools had to shut down. People who relied on medical equipment, such as breathing machines and oxygen, faced significant health risks. Additionally, families lost hundreds of dollars in spoiled food due to the hot summer weather.In response to the blackout, authorities launched an investigation to determine the root causes and implement measures to prevent future occurrences.Public outrage erupted as Mayor Eddie Melton and community members expressed their frustration with the utility company’s slow response and poor communication. In response to the mounting concerns, Indiana Governor Mike Braun called for an official investigation into the power company’s equipment and repair schedules. By late August, crews managed to restore the data. Electricity was restored to 99% of customers, but discussions on recovery and repairs are still ongoing.
