Renewed fighting erupted along the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan after a temporary ceasefire expired, killing at least two civilians and wounding others in eastern Afghanistan, Afghan officials said. The brief truce had been announced by the two sides ahead of the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr. Ziaur Rahman Speenghar, a director at the information and culture department in Afghanistan's Kunar province, said Pakistani forces fired dozens of artillery shells into the Narai and Sarkano districts, killing two civilians and wounding eight others.

Afghan border forces returned fire, he said, claiming they destroyed three Pakistani military posts and killed one person. His claims could not be independently verified. There was no immediate comment from Pakistan's military. However, a local Pakistani official in the northwest accused Afghan forces of initiating the exchange of fire in multiple areas. The latest violence comes about a week after both sides agreed to halt hostilities at the request of Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Qatar.

Meta and YouTube must pay millions in damages to a 20-year-old woman in the United States after a jury in Los Angeles decided the social media giant and video streamer designed their platforms to hook young users without concern for their well being. The California jury's decision in a first-of-its-kind lawsuit could influence the outcome of thousands of similar lawsuits in the US accusing social media companies of deliberately causing harm.

The plaintiff testified at trial that she became addicted to social media as a child and that this addiction exacerbated her mental health struggles. After more than 40 hours of deliberations, a majority of jurors agreed and awarded her $3 million in damages. Jurors later recommended an additional $3 million in punitive damages after deciding the companies acted with malice in harming children with their platforms. The judge has final say over how much damages are awarded. Meta and Google said separately that they disagreed with the verdict and would both appeal.

Four ambulances belonging to a Jewish charity were set on fire in London in what British police are investigating as an antisemitic hate crime. Detectives are working to determine whether a claim of responsibility from a group with alleged links to Iran is authentic. Though it has not been classified as a terrorist incident, counterterror officers have been put in charge of the investigation. No one was injured in the nighttime attack.

"We are pursuing all lines of inquiry, including an online claim of responsibility by an Islamist group who have claimed other attacks across Europe and have potential Iranian state links," said Mark Rowley, chief of London's Metropolitan Police. Oxygen cylinders on the vehicles exploded, breaking windows in an adjacent apartment block. Nearby homes were evacuated as a precaution. What appeared to be footage from a security camera showed three figures in black wearing hoods carrying a canister toward one of the ambulances before flames erupted around the vehicle.

The Philippines became the first country to declare an energy emergency in light of the US-Israel war on Iran, after local diesel and petrol prices more than doubled in the country since the war broke out on February 28. President Ferdinand Marcos said he is working to secure new sources of oil for the Philippines, which imports 98% of its oil from the Gulf. Marcos told Filipinos in a televised address that the government would procure one million barrels of oil to add to the current stock, which is good for 45 days.

Philippine Ambassador to the US Jose Manuel Romualdez had told Reuters that Manila was working with Washington to secure exemptions that would allow the country to import oil from US-sanctioned countries. Under Marcos' order, a committee has been formed to oversee the orderly distribution of fuel, food, medicines, and other essential goods. The declaration will remain in place for one year, unless it is extended or lifted by the president.
