Trump said the strike killed Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, whom he described as "second in command of ISIS globally." Nigeria's president said the raid took place at a compound in the Lake Chad basin.

A year ago, Trump promised a new era during the first major foreign trip of his second term. On his recent visit to Beijing, the war with Iran and economic strain clouded his diplomacy.

A Russian airstrike on a Kyiv apartment complex that killed at least 24 people and a Ukrainian strike on residential buildings and an oil refinery in Ryazan, Russia, suggested no end is in sight to the war.

A soldier taught a 12-year-old how to disable the fiber-optic drones that Russia has been using to hunt Ukrainian civilians in a campaign the U.N. has labeled a war crime.

A larger multinational security force will have broader authority to combat rising gang violence than its predecessor but could face similar funding challenges.

The image of two superpowers on similar footing was exactly what Chinese President Xi Jinping aimed to achieve with the visit, analysts said.

Prime Minister Evika Silina resigned after suspected Ukrainian drones headed for Russia crossed into her country, sparking concerns about its defenses.

The Russian president is facing pressure not only from a stalemate on the battlefield but also from a battered economy that is fueling discontent.

As Israel and Hezbollah exchange fire, dozens of volunteers eat, sleep and pray at a small hospital, waiting to respond to the next airstrike.

Chinese officials are using a different transliterated character for the secretary of state's name, perhaps to allow him to visit without lifting a 2020 ban.
