At least 175 people have died and over 3,000 displaced after catastrophic floods submerged Mokwa, a major market town in Nigeria's Niger State. Triggered by predawn rains, the floods affected 500 households, leaving many rooftops submerged and people waist-deep in water. President Bola Tinubu has activated emergency response operations, vowing no victim will be abandoned. As climate change worsens Nigeria’s weather extremes, devastated residents mourn their dead and lost harvests. The town, a crucial agricultural hub, is now struggling to cope with trauma, loss, and rising humanitarian needs.

A limestone quarry in Indonesia’s West Java province collapsed on Friday, killing at least 13 people and injuring a dozen others. Authorities fear more may still be buried under the rubble. The rescue mission, involving excavators and volunteers, was halted due to unstable soil and will resume Saturday. Governor Dedi Mulyadi ordered the permanent closure of this and four similar unsafe mining sites. This is the quarry’s second collapse this year, highlighting growing concerns over mining safety in the Southeast Asian archipelago.

The Philippines is making a bold military move in the South China Sea, announcing new naval bases in Subic Bay, Mindanao, and Sibutu under its ‘Horizon 3’ defense program. Amid rising tensions with China, the expansion aims to strengthen coastal security from Scarborough Shoal to the Spratlys. President Marcos emphasized the need for enhanced naval capabilities. The move also supports trilateral patrols with Indonesia and Malaysia, while rejecting Beijing’s territorial claims and interference in Philippine waters.

Macron was welcomed with a grand military parade and met President Prabowo Subianto to discuss deepening cooperation in defense, energy, and digitization. Talks reportedly include Indonesia’s interest in procuring French-made Rafale fighter jets and Scorpene submarines as strategic ties between the two nations grow stronger.
