 Mexico says two US federal agents killed in crash were not authorized for operations inside country  Mexico’s government says two U.S. federal agents killed in a northern border-region crash were not authorized to take part in any operations on Mexican soil, raising new questions about their role in a cross-border drug lab mission.

Hong Kong fire death toll climbs to 128, officials say

The death toll from a massive fire at a residential apartment complex in Hong Kong has risen to 128 as search and rescue operations continue. Officials warned that additional victims may still be discovered.

Three men linked to the construction firm overseeing renovations at the building have been arrested and are under investigation. Authorities suspect that substandard mesh and large amounts of Styrofoam installed in the windows and outer walls contributed to the rapid spread of the fire. The same materials were found in a neighboring building that remained untouched by the blaze.

More than 140 fire engines and over 800 firefighters and paramedics, supported by drones, responded to the fire. Around 279 people remain missing, according to Hong Kong’s leader, who expressed deep condolences to the families of those killed and injured. The fire also claimed the life of a firefighter.

Chinese President Xi Jinping offered condolences to the victims’ families and those affected, calling for full support for search and rescue efforts, medical care for the injured, post-disaster relief, and assistance to local authorities to minimize further casualties and damage.
