Hormuz tankers hit mines as Doha talks run on; Kherson truce ends; Spain crash toll 69
Indirect US-Iran talks continued in Doha for a third day while Iran's IRGC said two tankers struck mines in the Strait of Hormuz, and the Kherson ceasefire in Ukraine ended on Sunday evening. Spain's death toll from last week's train collision rose to 69, and Israel's deadlocked election drew claims of theft from Netanyahu.
Iran's IRGC says two tankers struck mines and caught fire in the Strait of Hormuz, and Trump again said the conflict will end soon and told Iran to make a deal. Indirect talks in Doha ran into a third day, with Qatar trying to negotiate the release of more than $6bn in Iranian assets. Early on Monday Iran warned a renewed war could outlast the last one and that its retaliation would have no geographic limits.
The localised Kherson ceasefire, described as the longest of the war, ended on Sunday evening and was not extended. Ukraine's air force says its nationwide air raid alert app was probably hacked minutes afterwards, so warnings no longer matched the real situation. Russian strikes cut power to thousands in Ukraine, and Russian state media say Ukrainian drones set fire to the Kstovo refinery.
Authorities say 69 people died in last week's high-speed collision near Toledo, including 54 Spaniards, four US citizens and nationals of Canada, Japan, Argentina, Mexico, Tunisia and the Czech Republic. Forensic teams are still identifying victims.
Almost 5,000 people have been displaced by Israel's siege of Hebron, which entered its tenth day, with homes demolished and hundreds of businesses closed. Israeli drone attacks also killed at least eight Palestinians across Gaza on Sunday, including a four-year-old child, according to the report.
Israel's election body says the result will not be undermined even if claims of foreign interference prove true, while Netanyahu has described the election as stolen. President Herzog must name a candidate to form a government by November 11, and coalition talks are expected to be difficult.
