 Kenya hikes fuel prices by 6% following lingering Middle East tensions Kenya raised the maximum retail prices of petrol and diesel on Wednesday, the energy regulator said, citing higher import costs linked to the conflict in the Middle East. The east African nation hiked petrol prices by 6% and diesel prices by 4.5% as it relies on the Middle East region for nearly all of its fuel supplies. A litre of diesel will cost 227.76 Kenyan shillings ($1.76) in the capital city of Nairobi, from 217.86 shillings, while kerosene will rise to 219.87 shillings from 191.38 shillings between October 15 and November 14, when new prices will be announced, TRT Afrika reported. The energy regulator said the government extended a reduction in value-added tax on fuel to 8% from 16% until January 14. Fuel prices affect multiple sectors including transport, agriculture and construction.

 Husband rescued his wife from taco truck explosion. The next day, they celebrated their 25th anniversary in the hospital


Tiffany and Tim McPherson’s 25th wedding anniversary took a tragic turn when their TNT Tacos food truck exploded in Atwood on June 4. Tiffany recalled being thrown against the back wall and trapped, while Tim was blown toward the door. 


Instead of escaping, he returned to pull her out, ultimately breaking them both free. Their daughter Jada Pastrana described the incident as a miracle, noting that both parents sustained severe burns and were airlifted to a Nashville hospital.


The couple has since undergone multiple surgeries and continues to face a long recovery. Photos shared by the family showed Tiffany bandaged in a hospital bed with Tim resting nearby, also wrapped in dressings. 


Despite their injuries, the two marked their anniversary with hospital food and even began physical therapy together, walking the halls and stretching their wounds. 


Pastrana said her father was released but refused to leave Tiffany’s side until she too is discharged.


A GoFundMe campaign launched to help cover medical expenses has raised over $30,000. Authorities believe the explosion was caused by a propane leak that ignited inside the truck. 


While the McPhersons’ ordeal has been devastating, their daughter emphasized the blessing of their survival and the strength of their bond, with Tim’s quick actions credited as the first step in saving Tiffany’s life.
