Canadian woman dies after falling ill at Belgium's Tomorrowland music festival
Debby Wilmsen said in an emailed statement that a 35-year-old Canadian woman fell ill at the festival on Friday.
She said the woman was given first aid and then taken to Antwerp University Hospital, but festival organizers were told Saturday morning that the woman had died.
Wilmsen said the Antwerp public prosecutor's office is investigating the cause of death. The office did not respond to requests for information on the woman.
Global Affairs Canada said it is aware of reports that a Canadian woman has died in Belgium but said it would not release information due to privacy considerations.
Spokesperson Sabrina Williams said Global Affairs Canada is in contact with local authorities.
A massive fire engulfed the main stage two days before the annual music festival began on Friday in the town of Boom, north of Brussels.
Tomorrowland draws tens of thousands of visitors from around Europe and runs across two weekends, ending on July 27.

(Victoria Jones/Pool via AP, file) GENEVA — Dr. David Nabarro, a British physician who led the UN response to some of the biggest health crises in recent years, including bird flu, Ebola and the coronavirus pandemic, has died. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director-general of the World Health Organization, confirmed Nabarro's death on social media platform X. 'David was a great champion of global health and health equity, and a wise, generous mentor to countless individuals,' Tedros wrote Saturday. 'His work touched and impacted so many lives across the world.' King Charles knighted Nabarro in 2023 for his contributions to global health after he served as one of six special envoys to the WHO on COVID-19. He won the 2018 World Food Prize for his work on health and hunger issues. He also was a candidate for the top job at the WHO in 2017 but lost out to Tedros in the final round of voting. Nabarro left the UN later that year. The 4SD Foundation, a social enterprise in Switzerland focused on mentoring the next generation of leaders in global sustainable development, said its strategic director died at his home Friday in a 'sudden passing.' Other details were not immediately available. 'David's generosity and unwavering commitment to improve the lives of others will be sorely missed,' the foundation wrote on its website Saturday. Survivors include his wife, Flo, as well as his five children and seven grandchildren.

(AP Photo/Giannis Papanikos) THESSALONIKI, Greece — A bomb explosion targeted the home of the president of the Greek association of prison guards early Saturday morning in the country's north. The guard, named Konstantinos Varsamis on the association's website, was left unharmed after about three kilograms (about 6.6 pounds) of explosives went off at 2:10 a.m. local time, police said. Two people suffered minor injuries from shattered glass. The explosives were placed outside his apartment building's front door in Sykies, a suburb in the northern city of Thessaloniki, where he lives on the first floor, according to authorities. The blast damaged three apartment buildings, shattering their windows and collapsing a shared wall, according to an Associated Press reporter on-site. 'I woke up because of the very loud bang of the explosion,' Tzetno Kelo, 52, who lives in an adjacent apartment building, said. 'Shattered glass from a window fell on my bed and I was covered in blood.' He was treated at a hospital before being discharged Police said a witness saw a man walking in the densely built street shortly before the explosion. Varsamis has worked for many years at Diavata prison, west of Thessaloniki, known for housing many criminal gang members as well as convicted terrorists. Two police officers said they are focusing their efforts on criminal gangs rather than terror groups. Both spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not supposed to comment on an ongoing investigation. The police have already deposed Varsamis, they said. The police's Organized Crime Unit is leading the investigation. Costas Kantouris, The Associated Press

Higher, faster, more destructive: Upgraded Russian drones wreak havoc on Ukrainian cities
When the air raid siren wails and the alert sounds on Oleksandr Matviienko's cellphone, the Kyiv resident starts quickly scrolling through social media channels, trying to glean more information about what exactly is headed toward the capital. If he sees talk of ballistic missiles or drones saturating the sky, he grabs his sleeping bag and mat positioned near the doorway, and heads to the nearby metro station to join a crowd prepared to spend hours waiting out the attack by sheltering underground. "I understand that the threat is really huge now," Matviienko said to CBC News in an interview by Zoom. "You never know if it will hit your apartment or your neighbour or neighbourhood." Matviiienko is a defence journalist at the Counteroffensive Pro, a Kyiv-based newsletter focused on defence innovation. He has experienced first-hand the fear and sleepless nights triggered by Russia's record-breaking drone attacks, and he understands Ukraine's challenges as it tries to intercept large volleys of modified drones that have been designed to fly faster and higher, as well as harder to disrupt. Iranian design, Russian upgrades In the fall of 2022, Russia began using Iranian-made Shahed drones, which crash into targets and explode on impact. The drones have a wingspan of more than two metres and make a loud buzzing noise that some compare to the sound of a moped. While it was Iranian drones that initially terrorized Ukrainian cities, Russia has ramped up its own production of three variations, the Geran-1, Geran-2 and Geran-3. While Russia hasn't disclosed how many drones it produces in a month, a recent report by Zvezda, one of the country's state broadcasters, purported to show a factory full of drones in Russia's Tatarstan region. The report detailed the factory's growing workforce, which is being supplemented by high school students getting on-the-job training. Just as Ukraine has continued to develop its weaponry since the full-scale invasion began in February 2022, Russia's drones have gone through several technological upgrades. Ukraine says the drones can now be equipped with more than 90 kilograms of explosives and have been found with shrapnel munitions to cause damage to a wider area. Russia is also launching the unmanned aerial vehicles in much larger volleys, in an effort to overwhelm Ukraine's defence system. While Kyiv continues to shoot down the vast majority of them, the sheer size of the swarms means more drones get through the defence systems and hit targets. "Now we are in the most challenging time," said Matviienko. "Previously, they launched like 300 to 400 drones on the whole country, and now they are concentrating on one or two cities." Record-breaking attack In recent weeks, Kyiv has come under aerial attack several times. On June 28, at least 28 people were killed and more than 100 injured when drones and missiles targeted the capital over a nine-hour period. One of the drones slammed into a high-rise apartment building, destroying several of the units. Then, in the overnight hours between July 8 and July 9, Russia launched its largest barrage of drones yet, with 728 targeting Ukraine along with 13 missiles. Yuriy Ignat, a spokesperson with Ukraine's air force, compared the scenario to a high-speed chess game. "One can imagine what happens when 741 drones and missiles simultaneously appear on the map of Ukraine," said Ignat. "During those moments, commanders make difficult decisions about what methods should be used to shoot them down." As part of its barrage of weaponry, Russia is also launching decoy drones, which are made up of similar components but don't carry a warhead. There are several types of decoys, including some that look very similar to the Iranian Shahed drones and the Russian-produced Geran models. This makes it difficult for Ukraine's air force to spot the real ones, stretching its air defence systems even further. More sophisticated navigation system When Russia launches the drones, Ukraine uses radar to detect the incoming weapons and then deploys a variety of methods to try to intercept them, but upgrades on the drones have created several challenges. One change is to paint them in a black coating that makes them physically more difficult to see at night, Ignat said. Experts say the devices are now being equipped with a global navigation satellite system, which includes larger arrays of antennae and makes them more resistant to electronic jamming. Ignat said the drones are flying higher — often at an altitude of two kilometres or higher — making it difficult for mobile defence teams to shoot them down with machine guns. And they're also flying faster. Experts say the Geran-2 model can travel around 200 km/h. The latest Geran-3 drone, in which the piston engine has been replaced by jet power, can travel at more than 500 km/h. While Ukraine is using F-16 fighter jets, helicopters and air defence missiles to try and take down the UAVs, Matviiienko says Ukraine needs a deluge of fast, relatively cheap interceptor drones that can fly at least 300 km/hour. Currently, though, there are relatively few domestic producers making them, he added. Funding for more production In a meeting with journalists last month, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine's mobile fire teams are now using interceptor drones more than machine guns. He said four companies are currently making interceptor drones, with two of them "already very successful in this area." Ukraine is prepared to ramp up production and has secured a financing agreement with Germany, he said. Canada had also committed to lending its support, Zelenskyy added Ukraine's Defence Minister Denys Shmyhal reportedly told allies during a meeting earlier this week that Kyiv needed $6 billion US to plug its weapons production shortfall for this year, which includes the manufacturing of interceptor drones.
