The authorities offered no motive for the rampage but said they believed the gunman might have tried to carry out a second attack. About 20 minutes after the attack in Monterey Park, an armed man walked into another dance hall in the neighboring city of Alhambra, was disarmed by people inside and then fled. The authorities did not identify the weapon that was seized. Shortly after officials said they were seeking a white cargo van, tactical teams surrounded a vehicle matching that description. They pinned it with armored vehicles, broke its windows and entered after more than an hour of tense preparation. An official said evidence found in the van linked the man inside, who had shot and killed himself, to both crime scenes. Details: The shooting, which killed five men and five women, started around 10:20 p.m. Saturday at a building on a main thoroughfare. Earlier in the day, the location had hosted a festival celebrating the eve of the Lunar New Year, a major holiday in many Asian communities.

My unity.” Zelensky’s soaring rhetoric has become a critical tool as he seeks to galvanize support among Ukrainians and internationally. But he has failed recently to broker more Western military support, after European allies were unable to reach an agreement on supplying the country with more tanks. Though Germany has refused to send German-made Leopard tanks from its own stock, the country’s foreign minister said yesterday that it was ready to authorize Poland to send its own tanks, if asked. Germany and Poland both plan to begin training Ukrainians in their use. Context: Since winter has set in, neither Moscow nor Kyiv has made major battlefield gains. The Russian military authorities, however, say they have taken territory around the city of Bakhmut, in eastern Ukraine, which they have been trying for months to encircle and then capture amid some of the fiercest fighting of the war. Germany: The country’s reluctance on tanks stems from [a post-Nazi aversion to war](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlsKfrP0T4aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8wMS8yMi93b3JsZC9ldXJvcGUvZ2VybWFueS10YW5rcy1oaXN0b3J5Lmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTEmZW1jPWVkaXRfbWJlXzIwMjMwMTIzJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTgzNDE4Jm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmclM0EtZXVyb3BlLWVkaXRpb24mcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTEyMzI1NiZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKY8jrIs5jLkk551IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) and a commitment to promoting peace through engagement, combined with an old fixation on Russia and a deep aversion to leading militarily.

No one was killed, but one person was injured. Investigators have focused on the Russian Imperial Movement, a radical group that has associates across Europe and military-style training centers in St. Petersburg, officials said. The group is believed to have ties to Russian intelligence agencies and to far-right Spanish organizations. Important members of the group are known to have been in Spain. U.S. officials say the Russian officers who directed the campaign may be testing out proxy groups in the event Moscow decides to escalate a conflict. The apparent aim of the action was to signal that Russia and its proxies could carry out terrorist strikes across Europe, including in the capitals of NATO member states. Analysis: “This seems like a warning shot,” said Nathan Sales, the State Department’s counterterrorism coordinator in the Trump administration, when the Russian Imperial Movement was designated a terrorist organization. “It’s Russia sending a signal that it’s prepared to use terrorist proxies to attack in the West’s rear areas.” [Continue reading the main story](#a11y-skip-universal-0) ADVERTISEMENT ~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlsKfrP0RvaHR0cHM6Ly9saXZlaW50ZW50Lm5ld3lvcmt0aW1lc2luZm8uY29tL2NsaWNrP3M9MjIxNzY5JmxpPU1CRSZtPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3JnA9TUJFXzIwMjMwMTIzVwNueXRCCmPI6yLOYy5JOedSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~ THE LATEST NEWS Around the World Pool photo by Ronen Zvulun - Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s leader, complied with a Supreme Court ruling and [fired a top minister](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlsKfrP4QAAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjMvMDEvMjIvd29ybGQvbWlkZGxlZWFzdC9pc3JhZWwtbmV0YW55YWh1LW1pbmlzdGVyLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTEmZW1jPWVkaXRfbWJlXzIwMjMwMTIzJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTgzNDE4Jm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmclM0EtZXVyb3BlLWVkaXRpb24mcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTEyMzI1NiZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKY8jrIs5jLkk551IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) who had been convicted of tax fraud. - Cholera is [surging in Malawi](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlsKfrP0T6aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8wMS8yMi93b3JsZC9hZnJpY2EvbWFsYXdpLWNob2xlcmEtb3V0YnJlYWsuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01MSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9tYmVfMjAyMzAxMjMmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9ODM0MTgmbmw9bW9ybmluZy1icmllZmluZyUzQS1ldXJvcGUtZWRpdGlvbiZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTIzMjU2JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpjyOsizmMuSTnnUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~), which nearly wiped out the disease in 2021. - China has adopted expansive rules to [respond to the threat of deepfakes](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlsKfrP4QDAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjMvMDEvMjIvYnVzaW5lc3MvbWVkaWEvZGVlcGZha2UtcmVndWxhdGlvbi1kaWZmaWN1bHR5Lmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTEmZW1jPWVkaXRfbWJlXzIwMjMwMTIzJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTgzNDE4Jm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmclM0EtZXVyb3BlLWVkaXRpb24mcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTEyMzI1NiZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKY8jrIs5jLkk551IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA), unlike most other countries. - The remains of Charles Byrne, a 7-foot-7 Irishman who died in 1783, will [no longer be on public view in London](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlsKfrP4QDAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjMvMDEvMjEvd29ybGQvZXVyb3BlL2NoYXJsZXMtYnlybmUtaXJpc2gtZ2lhbnQtbXVzZXVtLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTEmZW1jPWVkaXRfbWJlXzIwMjMwMTIzJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTgzNDE4Jm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmclM0EtZXVyb3BlLWVkaXRpb24mcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTEyMzI1NiZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKY8jrIs5jLkk551IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA). - To drive home after flooding, one man in Western Australia was forced to make a [3,000-mile detour](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlsKfrP0T8aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8wMS8yMC93b3JsZC9hdXN0cmFsaWEvYXVzdHJhbGlhLWZsb29kcy1kcml2ZS5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTUxJmVtYz1lZGl0X21iZV8yMDIzMDEyMyZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD04MzQxOCZubD1tb3JuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJTNBLWV1cm9wZS1lZGl0aW9uJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xMjMyNTYmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmPI6yLOYy5JOedSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) across the outback.
