The plane was diverted Tuesday to Bangkok, where emergency crews rushed to help injured passengers amid stormy weather. Singapore’s Flight SQ321 from Heathrow was diverted to Bangkok and landed at 3:45 p.m. local time at Suvarnabhumi Airport, the airline announced in its Facebook page.

Germany’s foreign minister has arrived in Kyiv in the latest public display of support for Ukraine by its Western partners. Annalena Baerbock renewed Berlin’s calls for governments to send more air defense systems as Russia pounds Ukraine with missiles, glide bombs and rockets. Germany is the second-biggest supplier of military aid to Ukraine after the United States. But deliveries of promised weapons and ammunition from NATO countries like Germany have been slow and have left Ukraine vulnerable to a recent Russian push along parts of the front line. Ukraine’s depleted troops are trying to hold off a fierce Russian offensive along the eastern border in one of the most critical phases of the war, which is stretching into its third year.
Israel’s foreign minister is heading to France to try to contain the fallout from the decision by the prosecutor of the world court to request arrest warrants for Israeli and Hamas leaders. Several European countries, including key ally France, as well as Belgium and Slovenia, supported the move, exposing divisions in the West’s approach to Israel and deepening the country's global isolation over its conduct in the war in Gaza. Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz’ visit starts Tuesday. He will also meet with his French counterpart and other senior officials. The meetings could set the tone surrounding the warrants — if they are eventually issued — and if they pose a threat to Israeli leaders in friendly countries.
