 Flights suspended to Ethiopian holy town of Lalibela as fighting expands Flights to the historic Ethiopian town of Lalibela ​were suspended on Thursday due to fighting nearby, seven sources said, as residents in the Tigray region to the north stocked up on food and ‌cash, fearing that renewed fighting could trigger another major war. Tigrayan forces seized three local airports and launched attacks in Afar and Amhara regions with allies there this week, in the most serious escalation since a devastating 2020-22 war against Ethiopian government troops. In its first public comments on the fighting, Ethiopia's army said on Thursday that it had foiled the attacks and killed, wounded or captured more than 500 enemy fighters.

 Spain confirms new hantavirus case tied to cruise ship outbreak that killed three people


 Spain has confirmed a new case of hantavirus linked to the cruise ship MV Hondius, which was previously tied to an outbreak that killed three people earlier this month.

The Spanish Health Ministry said a Spanish national under preventive quarantine in Madrid tested positive for the virus while being monitored as a close contact of an earlier confirmed case. The patient had already been under clinical observation at Gómez Ulla Hospital and was later transferred to a high-level isolation unit for continued treatment and supervision.

Officials said the infection was identified through routine testing of individuals connected to the outbreak cluster. The ministry added that the patient was already within an established isolation and surveillance system, and therefore, the new case does not change the overall public health risk or current response measures.

Hantavirus, which is rare in humans and more commonly found in parts of South America, has never before been recorded on a cruise ship. Health authorities have emphasized that the situation remains contained, with no new deaths reported since the outbreak was first identified and reported earlier this month.

The outbreak was traced to the MV Hondius, which completed a seven-week voyage spanning roughly 8,500 miles and was later linked to up to 11 infections and three deaths. Passengers and crew were disembarked in stages, with many placed under quarantine in their home countries, including travelers from the United States.
