Adalynn and Front Eagle oil tankers collided and caught fire on Tuesday near the Strait of Hormuz, where electronic interference has surged during the conflict between Iran and Israel, but there were no injuries to crew or spillage reported.

Dubai police retrieve stolen diamond worth $25 million

DUBAI: Dubai police said on Monday they caught three thieves just hours after they stole a precious pink diamond worth $25 million. 'The Dubai Police General Command has foiled the theft of a very rare pink diamond, valued at $25 million,' the police said in a statement shared by the United Arab Emirates' official news agency WAM. A diamond trader who had brought the jewel from Europe was lured to a villa by a crime gang under the pretense of a viewing by a potential wealthy client, police said. But the gem was stolen when the diamond dealer arrived for the bogus inspection, the statement added. Within eight hours three people from an unspecified Asian country were arrested 'thanks to the efforts of specialized and field teams, and by using the latest artificial intelligence technologies,' police said. Video footage shared by the Dubai Media Office showed the three men with their faces blurred after their arrest as well as CCTV footage of the gang. Dubai is an important hub for diamond trading. Tightly controlled and policed, the UAE prides itself on its security and stability.

Danish train was traveling at ‘relatively high speed' when it hit farm truck: Police

Danish police said Saturday that an express train that struck a farm truck, killing one person and injuring 27, was traveling at a 'relatively high speed' when the collision occurred. The drivers of both the train and the truck were among those critically injured in Friday's crash at a railway crossing in Bjerndrup, southwest Denmark. Police said a 60-year-old woman was killed, while five of the 27 injured remain in critical condition. The train, which was traveling from Copenhagen to the western town of Sønderborg, hit the truck as it crossed the tracks at a site without a barrier. Authorities said the investigation will determine whether the light and sound signals at the crossing were functioning at the time. Local media reported that a similar accident occurred in July just three kilometers (two miles) away, when a 24-year-old driver was killed after his car was struck by a train at another crossing.
