 M23 says hundreds of Burundi soldiers captured in latest Congo offensive The Rwanda-backed M23 group has captured hundreds of Burundian soldiers during its latest offensive in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, a rebel official said, as clashes continued despite a warning from the Trump administration. Last week M23 entered the strategic town of Uvira near the border with Burundi, less than a week after the presidents of Congo and Rwanda met in Washington with U.S. President Donald Trump and affirmed their commitment to a peace deal known as the Washington Accords. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Saturday that Rwanda's actions in eastern Congo violated the Washington Accords and vowed to "take action to ensure promises made to the President are kept".

Coast Guard rescues four people trapped in Washington home attic during severe flooding

  U.S. Coast Guard crews rescued four people who were forced into the attic of their northwest Washington home as rapidly rising floodwaters trapped them on Wednesday.

Aircrews searched the flooded area by helicopter until they located the home surrounded by eight to ten feet of water. Local responders from Whatcom County Fire District 14 and the U.S. Border Patrol were unable to reach the house due to the depth of the flooding, prompting Coast Guard teams from Air Station Port Angeles and Air Station Astoria to take over the operation.

Radio communications captured rescuers coordinating a two-phase evacuation plan, lifting two people to safety before returning for the remaining pair. When the helicopter arrived, the water had reached the base of the home’s roof. A rescue swimmer descended onto the roof, entered the attic through a window, and guided the first two survivors into a rescue basket that was hoisted into the aircraft.

The Port Angeles crew transported the first pair to a designated landing zone while the swimmer stayed behind. The Astoria crew then hoisted the remaining two individuals, along with the swimmer, shortly afterward.

Coast Guard officials praised the coordinated effort, noting that rigorous training prepares crews for moments like this when lives are in immediate danger. All four survivors were evaluated by EMS at the landing zone, and no injuries were reported.
