In a tragic incident in Japan, a 10-year-old boy suffered serious injuries after being bitten by a dolphin while swimming at a beach in Tsuruga, Fukui prefecture. The boy's injuries required over 20 stitches and are part of a concerning trend, with 16 reported dolphin attacks in the region since July 21. Experts suspect a single male Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin may be responsible for these incidents, which have left 47 injured over the past three years. Authorities have installed warning signs and are urging beachgoers to respect the wild nature of dolphins.
In a separate incident in Sonora, Mexico, a minor was killed and eight Haitian migrants were injured when gunmen attacked their vehicle, which was being used by human traffickers near the Tubutama border with Arizona. The attack occurred early Sunday morning and prompted a rapid response from local authorities. The region has seen a rise in violence against migrants due to ongoing conflicts between human trafficking gangs. The injured were taken to a local hospital while security forces continue to search for the assailants.
