Summary
Tankers burn and Iran says the world should be prepared for oil prices to soar, as major economies release barrels from their strategic reserves. Investigators think the U.S. military may have been responsible for a strike on a girls’ school on the first day of the war. Around 800,000 people in Lebanon have left their homes as the Israeli campaign against Iran-backed Hezbollah widens. Plus, a train from Pyongyang to Beijing sets off for the first time in six years.
