At least 11 people died in Israeli airstrikes on a southern Lebanese town early Monday, according to Lebanon's state news agency. The dead included two infants and two medics, with nine killed in a strike on a three-story residential building in Kfar Rumman. Israel announced separate strikes on buildings it said were linked to Hizbulá.The filmmaker and actor won outstanding guest actor in a comedy series at the Creative Arts Emmys ceremony for his appearances in the show's fourth season. Reiner died nine months before the award was presented.The Anak Krakatau volcano erupted, sending ash kilometres into the air and forcing the closure of major Indonesian airports including those serving the capital. More than 1,500 flights have been affected by the ash cloud.Andy Williams, who played guitar for the metalcore band Every Time I Die and built a second career as a professional wrestler known as The Butcher, collapsed during a match Saturday night in Millvale, Pennsylvania, and died. All Elite Wrestling said Williams was a trailblazer who made a successful transition from music to professional wrestling and was respected by his peers.OPEC+ decided Sunday to keep oil production targets stable for October, the first time since April the group has forgone a monthly increase. The decision came as a fragile ceasefire in the Persian Gulf collapsed, with U.S. attacks on Iranian military sites and Iranian retaliatory strikes driving Brent crude to around 96 dollars per barrel.Japan's foreign reserves dropped $79.6 billion in August to $1.208 trillion, the largest monthly decline on record, after Tokyo spent 15.4 trillion yen on dollar-selling, yen-buying intervention to support its weakening currency. The operation, which included the first coordinated intervention with the United States since 2011, lifted the yen from near 40-year lows of 164 per dollar to as high as 155.20.Marnus Labuschagne has been retained in Australia's 16-person squad for a three-Test tour of South Africa in October, despite scoring only 36 runs across three innings in the recent Bangladesh series. The tour, beginning at Durban's Kingsmead Stadium on October 9, is Australia's first Test series in South Africa since 2018. Cooper Connolly, Michael Neser and Matthew Kuhnemann were added to the squad.The transport minister said early Monday that eight airports across Indonesia, two of them serving Jakarta, had shut down because of ash from Anak Krakatau. More than 170,000 passengers have been stranded by flight cancellations and suspensions since the volcano erupted late Friday.The Alternative for Germany won 44 percent of the vote in Saxony-Anhalt on Sunday, achieving a breakthrough that gives an extremist faction access to state-level authority for the first time since 1945. The result delivered a major blow to Chancellor Friedrich Merz's conservatives and reflects deep unpopularity of Germany's ruling coalition. Turnout reached 77 percent.Asian equity markets gained on Monday after a strong US employment report, though oil prices edged higher following military confrontations between the US and Iran in the Gulf. The robust payrolls data eased some expectations for immediate interest-rate increases, supporting investor sentiment across the region.At least 11 people died in Israeli airstrikes on a southern Lebanese town early Monday, according to Lebanon's state news agency.
