 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.

 Oliver Tree and Popular YouTuber Gaspar Prim Reportedly Among Six K!lled in Brazil Helicopter Tragedy


A helicopter tragedy in Brazil has reportedly claimed six l!ves, with American musician Oliver Tree and Argentinian content creator Gaspar Prim among those named as victims.


The accident occurred over the Recreio dos Bandeirantes area of Rio de Janeiro, where two helicopters reportedly collided before crashing to the ground.


Authorities said one of the aircraft came down in the parking area of an electric vehicle dealership, sparking a large fire. The second helicopter landed some distance away, leaving debris scattered across the area.


Oliver Tree, the California-born singer and rapper known for his distinctive style and massive online following, was in Brazil as part of his ongoing world tour. The artist had recently performed in São Paulo and was expected to continue with European tour dates next month.


Gaspar Prim, a well-known Argentinian YouTuber with millions of followers across social media platforms, was also reported to have been on board.


The other victims were identified as passengers Lucas Vignale and Lucas Brito Chaves, along with pilots Alexandre Souza and Charles Marsillac.


Earlier, Rio deputy mayor Eduardo Cavaliere confirmed that foreign nationals were among those aboard one of the helicopters, though he initially withheld further details.


Investigators are still working to determine exactly what led to the accident.


Speaking at the scene, Lieutenant Colonel Fabio Contreiras said the circumstances surrounding the crash remain unclear.


"Parts of the aircraft are scattered hundreds of meters away, so the information we have is still very preliminary," he explained.


"We really need to get the recordings and videos to understand exactly what happened."


According to rescue officials, five victims were found inside the helicopter that crashed into the dealership parking area and caught fire. 


The second aircraft was discovered roughly 330 feet away and was carrying only its pilot, who also lost his l!fe.


Emergency responders noted that the crash location may have prevented an even greater tragedy. Officials said the fact that the helicopters came down in a parking area rather than a more crowded location likely reduced the number of casualties.
