The General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) confirmed that the deceased was a Pakistani resident and that the injured were taken to a hospital for treatment, Anadolu Agency reported.

The attack also caused material damage that was still being assessed, the authority said.

Earlier, the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen said an unidentified projectile struck Terminal 4 at the airport Sunday afternoon, causing a fire.

The attack came a day after another strike on the same airport killed 12 people and injured more than 300 others.

The Saudi-led coalition blamed Yemen’s Houthi group for that attack and vowed a firm response, calling it a violation of international humanitarian law.

Around 300 Intermarche and Netto stores, along with fewer than 100 U supermarkets, were affected by the incident, Anadolu Agency reported.

The attackers reportedly altered refrigeration temperatures remotely, causing stocks of fresh and frozen products to spoil.

In the Alsace region, two Intermarche and Super U supermarkets alone reported losses of €270,000 ($301,000). The total financial damage nationwide is expected to reach several million euros.

Dominique Schelcher, head of Cooperative U, confirmed the attack in a post on X, saying teams were working to restore operations and calling for an investigation into the incident.

“Targeting equipment essential to the preservation of fresh products and to the food supply of the French people is of extreme gravity and is unprecedented. It is unacceptable,” Schelcher said.

The incident highlights the potential impact of cyberattacks on operational technology used to manage essential infrastructure, including systems responsible for maintaining food safety and preventing spoilage.

Russia had continued its aerial attacks on Kyiv on October 8, when a Russian drone struck a four-story store in the capital’s Solomianskyi district, killing at least two people and injuring two others, according to Vitali Klitschko.

Emergency crews had contained a fire that had broken out inside the building following the strike, and the bodies of two victims were later recovered from the site while search-and-rescue operations were underway.

The former president of Congo-Kinshasa was sentenced to death in absentia last year for high treason and was also accused of collaborating with Rwanda and the M23 rebel group, which is active in eastern Congo-Kinshasa, Sweden Herald reported.

He denied the charges at the time, but is now openly cooperating with the group, which controls large parts of eastern Congo-Kinshasa. Kabila led the country for almost 20 years but lost the 2019 election. Reports of links to M23 emerged after he left office.

The leaders of Congo-Kinshasa and M23 signed a US-brokered peace agreement with Donald Trump late last year, but fighting has continued. In August, the parties were reported to have agreed on a roadmap for new peace talks.

Acting Army Secretary Adam Telle announced the initiative Monday during the opening ceremony of the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) National Convention in Washington, Anadolu Agency reported.

Telle described the event as a competitive exercise designed to challenge both the Army’s Organic Industrial Base (OIB) and the wider US manufacturing network under demanding conditions.

“The US Army is going to do something we’ve never done before: early next year we will conduct what I’m calling a manufacturing rodeo — a race between our industrial base partners that strains our organic industrial base, stresses the supply chain, pressures manufacturing processes, and shows us exactly where it breaks,” Telle said.

The exercise will seek to expose weaknesses in production systems and supply chains when they come under pressure. The findings are expected to help the Army determine where additional investment, improved manufacturing processes or new production capabilities may be necessary.

Telle said the initiative would prioritize practical testing of industrial capacity rather than relying solely on planning and analysis. The goal is to identify potential bottlenecks and assess how effectively the US industrial base can support the military’s equipment requirements.
