The Associated Press has collected some of the first witness accounts of the massacre in Indian-controlled Kashmir that left 26 people dead. Survivors and loved ones say gunmen asked people whether they were Hindu or Muslim before killing them at close range. Indian authorities have shared few details of last week's attack that mostly killed Hindu tourists. It was one of the deadliest assaults in years targeting civilians in the region claimed by both India and Pakistan. One woman whose husband was killed said the gunman decided not to shoot her. She says the attackers wanted to “leave women behind to mourn.”

“Top Gun: Maverick” filmmaker Joseph Kosinski started dreaming up a movie about Formula One racing while watching “Drive to Survive.” But it would take nearly four years for that dream to become “F1,” which is speeding into movie theaters on June 27. The ambitious film stars Brad Pitt as an aging driver recruited to come back for one more race. It was a complex operation that would involve unprecedented coordination with the league, groundbreaking innovation in camera technology, and letting Pitt and his co-star Damson Idris really drive the cars at 180 mph. “F1” speeds into theaters on June 27.

The United States has told the International Court of Justice that Israel must provide humanitarian assistance to Palestinian civilians in Gaza. But it said Israel does not have to work with the the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees. The top court of the United Nations is holding a week of hearings on Israel's legal obligations to provide aid following a request for an advisory opinion from the U.N. General Assembly last year. Israel claims the agency, known as UNWRA, has been infiltrated by Hamas. UNRWA rejects that claim.

Consumer spending also slowed sharply.

Rumors of the dissolution of political parties had been circulating since the conference began on Monday. The talks brought together over 400 regional delegates, representatives from the Bamako district and from the Malian diaspora. Political parties say they did not take part in the conference.

The International Committee of the Red Cross says it has helped transfer hundreds of Congolese soldiers and police officers from the rebel-controlled town of Goma in eastern Congo to the capital Kinshasa. The soldiers and police officers have been taking refuge at the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Congo. The decades-long conflict in eastern Congo escalated in recent months as the Rwanda-backed M23 rebels advanced and seized the strategic city of Goma. The operation is the result of an agreement reached between the Congolese government, rebels, the U.N. mission and the ICRC. The announcement of the transfer was greeted with profound relief by stranded soldiers and police officers.

The explosion that rocked an Iranian port had its epicenter at a facility ultimately owned by a charitable foundation overseen by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s office.

That's according to the U.S. Treasury. Authorities still haven’t offered a cause for the blast at the Shahid Rajaei port near Bandar Abbas. The port reportedly took in a chemical component needed for solid fuel for ballistic missiles. That it's something denied by authorities though local reports now increasingly point toward a mysterious and highly explosive cargo being delivered there.
