THREE NEWS YOU CAN’T MISS
On Thursday, Ukraine struck an area near the Russian-controlled area of Donetsk. More than 20 soldiers were killed in the missile attack. Among the dead were six North Korean officers who were there to meet Russian colleagues, the Kyiv Post writes.
Three other North Korean soldiers were also injured in the attack.
Recently, cooperation between North Korea and Russia has expanded, according to the newspaper. Last year, Ukrainian intelligence agencies reported that a group of military personnel and engineers from North Korea were in occupied areas of Ukraine. According to other Ukrainian reports, Russia has also planned to bring in North Korean construction workers to Donetsk and Luhansk, as there has been a labor shortage in Russia due to the war.

An emergency meeting will be held on Monday regarding security in the Riksdag, Sveries Radio Ekot learns. This is due to Thursday’s tomato attack against Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard (M).
According to information to Ekot, one possible measure is to put up plexiglass between the audience and the members in the plenary hall.
It was in the middle of a debate about the situation in Gaza that someone in the audience threw a bag of tomatoes and red onions at the foreign minister. She then fled out of the plenary hall and the debate had to be interrupted during the tumult.
There has been a lot of speculation surrounding the death of the “spy whale” Hvaldimir. Now the Norwegian Veterinary Institute has presented its report after the final autopsy of the body.
The report states that Hvaldimir died of a bacterial infection, possibly as a result of a wound in the mouth where a stick had stuck. The stick may also have led to him having difficulty ingesting nutrition, writes the veterinary institute in a press release.
Hvaldimir was found dead in late August, and photos of the corpse showed several superficial wounds to the chest, abdomen and several fins.
Two animal rights organizations therefore raised suspicions that the whales may have been shot dead, and reported the whole thing to the police. That theory is now dismissed by the Norwegian police, who are closing their investigation into the case.
– There is nothing in the investigation to indicate that Hvaldimir was killed illegally, says Amund Preede Revheim of the Norwegian police.

In their shadow budget, the Social Democrats want to give 1.7 billion kroner more to culture and sports than the budget presented by Tidösamarbetet, according to Sveriges Radio’s “Kulturnytt”.
According to Lawen Redar, cultural policy spokesperson for the Social Democrats, a powerful cultural investment can be financed by not accepting the tax breaks for high income earners that the government wants to implement.
– Fees for children’s and young people’s free time are raised, the study associations’ rehearsal rooms are forced to close in large parts of the country and regional cultural institutions find it increasingly difficult to offer a broad and inclusive activity, says Redar to SR.
Among other things, the Social Democrats want to reintroduce free entry to state museums and give more money to regional cultural initiatives and cultural schools. In addition, they want to invest SEK 350 million more than the government wants on student unions.
The emergency services received an alarm at 12.30 about a basement fire which later spread up two floors in Ullared.

The fire should now be under control, but the forecast for the extinguishing work is set for 16.30.
