Chaos on the Finnish ferry
There was chaos on the Viking Line ferry when it arrived in Stockholm on Saturday evening, according to several passengers. Hundreds of people, including families with children and people in wheelchairs, were left tightly packed on several decks and had to wait over an hour to leave the ferry, without being given any information about what was going on. Viking Line’s head of communications Eleonora Hansi says it was a technical challenge with the gangway and that the delay was only ten minutes, but confirms that only one gangway was used instead of two. According to passenger Daniel, it got cramped and a bit rough when everyone finally had to get off through a single steel staircase, and he describes the situation as almost an emergency evacuation.

New attack on “drug boat” in the Caribbean
The US has carried out yet another attack against a boat in the Caribbean that allegedly smuggled narcotics, says Minister of War Pete Heggseth on X. Three what the minister called “drug terrorists” were killed on board. “These narco-terrorists are bringing drugs to our shores to poison Americans at home, and they will not succeed. The Department will treat them just as we treated al-Qaeda. We will continue to track them, map them, hunt them down, and kill them,” he writes. In all, at least 65 people have been killed in US attacks on alleged smuggling boats at sea, according to the country’s own figures.
