On Wednesday, at least 40 people were killed in Liberia following the explosion of a fuel tanker, as confirmed by the country's chief medical officer, Francis Kateh. The tanker had overturned in north-central Liberia before the blast occurred. The death toll may rise, as over 83 individuals were injured in the incident, with many having rushed to scoop up fuel from the overturned tanker before the explosion. In Colombia, a gasoline tanker exploded in a tunnel after the driver lost control, but a nearby vehicle managed to brake in time, avoiding the disaster. Separately, an aerial strike on a church ground in Ethiopia's Oromiya region killed eight and injured five people as they collected corn, with an opposition political party confirming the strike.
