At least 10 killed in Israel and 128 in Iran after strikes, authorities say
At least 10 killed in Israel and 128 in Iran after strikes, authorities say
Israel and Iran launched a new wave of attacks at each other over Saturday night, hitting homes in Israel and dozens of targets in Tehran, officials said.
In Israel, 10 people, including two children, were killed and more than 100 injured during a second night of Iranian strikes, according to Israeli authorities.
Iranian media, quoting the health ministry, said 128 Iranians had been killed and around 900 injured by Israeli strikes as of midday on Saturday.
Iran and Israel have continued to exchange strikes since Israel launched an attack on Iranian nuclear infrastructure and other targets on Friday.
BBC journalists are unable to report from inside Iran due to restrictions by Iran’s government, making it difficult to assess the damage caused by Israel’s offensive.
In Israel, the latest wave of Iranian strikes hit homes in northern and central Israel.

A 10-storey block of flats in Bat Yam was struck in the early hours, killing six people, including a 10-year-old-boy and a eight-year-old girl. Others were trapped underneath rubble.
Four people were also killed in Iranian attacks on the northern Arab town of Tamra, according to emergency services and the local hospital.
Rescue paramedic Ori Lazarovich, who was working at the scene in Bat Yam, told BBC News: “We started triaging people, while the building was still on fire on one side.
“Some were crying and some were holding their family members, I saw fear in their eyes.”
“People came out all grey, covered in soot and ash and debris and suffering from smoke inhalation,” he added.
A woman who lived in a building next to the blast zone in Bat Yam sat surrounded by suitcases.
“We’ve been here 24 years and now we have to start over. I’m holding myself back from crying,” she told the BBC.
Visiting the scene of the attack, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Iran would pay a “very heavy price” for “the premeditated murder of civilians, women and children”.
Meanwhile in Iran, Tehran’s oil ministry said the Shahran oil depot in the capital was hit by Israeli strikes overnight.
Israel’s military said fighter jets struck more than 80 targets in Tehran overnight, including the Iranian Ministry of Defense and “additional targets where the Iranian regime hid the nuclear archive”.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) issued a warning on social media to the Iranian people, telling them to stay away from all weapons manufacturing facilities.
Writing in Farsi, IDF spokesman Avichay Adraee said: “For your own safety, we ask you to evacuate these facilities immediately and not to return until further notice.”
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said his country had the right to defend itself from aggression – and that Israel must stop its attacks.
But the Iranian former crown prince Reza Pahlavi – the son of Iran’s former Shah who was overthrown in the country’s 1979 Islamic revolution – has told the BBC people who oppose the country’s government have been “re-energised” by Israel’s attacks, which killed senior Iranian military leaders.
“The ultimate solution is regime change, and now we have an opportunity because this regime is at its weakest point,” he said, speaking from exile on the Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg show.

VIDEO: Toluwanisings’ Burial: Uncle Questions Authenticity of Corpse, Alleges Family Was Sidelined
VIDEO: Toluwanisings’ Burial: Uncle Questions Authenticity of Corpse, Alleges Family Was Sidelined
A fresh controversy has emerged over the burial of late Toluwanisings, following allegations by her maternal uncle that he was sidelined during arrangements for her burial.
The deceased’s uncle reportedly questioned whether the body buried was genuinely that of Toluwanisings, alleging that those responsible for the burial took her corpse away from the mortuary without involving the person he believes was supposed to authorise or sign the necessary documents.
In a statement expressing his concerns, the uncle said:
“How do we know that the corpse you buried is real when you sidelined the person who is supposed to sign? You just took the corpse away from the mortuary.
“When Toluwanisings wanted to get married, I was the one who signed at the court as her father’s representative. I don’t know why, but I’m calling people’s attention to this.”
His comments have raised questions about the circumstances surrounding the deceased’s removal from the mortuary and the extent of family involvement in the burial arrangements.
The uncle’s statement also suggests a dispute over who had the authority to represent the deceased’s family in matters concerning her burial.
However, his allegation questioning the identity of the corpse has not been independently established. It remains unclear whether the family has formally raised the matter with the relevant authorities or whether the burial arrangements complied with all applicable procedures.
The individuals accused of sidelining the uncle have yet to respond to the allegations.

Nasarawa Murder: Two Arrested as Police Recover Burnt Body from Dry Well
Nasarawa Murder: Two Arrested as Police Recover Burnt Body from Dry Well
The Nasarawa State Police Command has arrested two suspects over the alleged murder of a 50-year-old man whose decomposed remains were recovered from a dry well at his residence in Aku Village, Base 5, Karu Local Government Area of the state.
The victim, identified as Jude Thaddeus, popularly known as Musa, was allegedly killed inside his residence before his body was dumped in a dry well and set ablaze in an apparent attempt to conceal the crime.
The police said the suspects allegedly covered the well with blocks to prevent the discovery of the remains.
The Command’s Police Public Relations Officer, SP Ramhan Nansel, disclosed the development in a statement issued on Friday, November 6, 2026.
According to the police, the incident came to light on November 3 after a 46-year-old woman, Jennifer Alain, from Mpape, Abuja, reported her brother missing at the Aso Pada Police Division.
Alain reportedly raised the alarm after repeated attempts to contact her brother proved unsuccessful, while an unidentified person kept answering calls made to his telephone number.
Following the complaint, detectives launched an investigation that led to the arrest of a 23-year-old suspect, Yusuf Musa, who had reportedly been employed by the deceased about three months earlier to look after his domestic animals.

Preliminary investigations indicated that the victim had been missing since October 22, while the suspect allegedly took possession of his mobile phone and continued deceiving people who called by claiming that his supposed father had travelled to England.
The police further alleged that the suspect had been disposing of the deceased’s personal belongings, domestic animals and other properties under suspicious circumstances.
During interrogation, Yusuf allegedly confessed to selling some of the victim’s heavy metals and industrial engines for ₦3.4 million.
The suspect also allegedly confessed to participating in the murder and disclosed that the victim’s remains had been dumped in a dry well within his residence.
Acting on the information, detectives, working alongside environmental services personnel, visited the property and recovered the decomposed remains from the well.
The police said preliminary findings suggested that the victim was killed inside his residence before his body was taken to the well and set ablaze.
The remains were subsequently evacuated to the Medical Centre, Mararaba, where a medical doctor examined and certified the victim dead.
The police identified the two suspects currently in custody as Yusuf Musa, 23, and Victor Zamani, 32.
The Command also disclosed that investigations had established the involvement of a third suspect, who was still at large, with efforts intensified to apprehend the fleeing individual.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, CP Shetima Jauro Mohamed, has directed that the case be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Lafia, for comprehensive investigation and prosecution.
The Command assured residents that investigations were ongoing and that everyone found culpable would be brought to justice.
It also urged members of the public to remain vigilant and report suspicious movements and activities to security agencies.

Kunle Afod Breaks Silence on Marriage Crisis, Cheating Allegations, Sex Toys
Kunle Afod Breaks Silence on Marriage Crisis, Cheating Allegations, Sex Toys
Nollywood actor speaks on infidelity, jealousy, trust issues, says acting career leaves little time for family
Popular Nollywood actor and filmmaker, Kunle Afod, has broken his silence on his separation from his wife, Desola Afod, opening up about infidelity, jealousy, trust issues and what he described as double standards in relationships.
The Yoruba movie star made the revelations during an interview with YouTube personality Kasnasty Sugar, published on Thursday, November 5, 2026, months after reports of a crisis in his marriage became public.
Afod, who had largely kept quiet about the reported marital difficulties, identified the demanding nature of his acting career as one of the challenges affecting his family life.
Speaking about his separation, the actor explained that his professional commitments sometimes leave him and his wife with little time to attend to their home and family.
He began his remarks by apologising to women, apparently anticipating that some of his comments might generate controversy.
According to him, the entertainment industry can place enormous demands on actors, sometimes making it difficult for them to strike a balance between their careers and family responsibilities.
The actor subsequently turned his attention to infidelity, arguing that cheating should not be treated as an offence exclusive to men.
He questioned the tendency to condemn men for cheating while overlooking similar conduct by women, suggesting that both partners should be subjected to the same standards of faithfulness in marriage.
Afod also made controversial remarks about relationships between women, suggesting that some husbands could become suspicious when their wives maintain unusually close relationships with female friends.

His comments on the subject have generated interest because of the sensitive nature of trust, boundaries and fidelity in marital relationships.
The actor also stirred controversy with his observations about the use of sex toys among married couples.
He questioned what he considered a double standard whereby some women allegedly have no reservations about asking their husbands to purchase sex toys for them but might object if they discover that their husbands equally use such products.
Afod argued that the use of such devices could also raise questions about fidelity, particularly when one partner considers certain bedroom practices acceptable for themselves but unacceptable for their spouse.
He specifically questioned why a woman might request multiple sex toys while regarding her husband’s use of similar products as unacceptable.
His remarks have added another dimension to the public conversation surrounding the actor’s marital separation.
Afod and Desola’s marital crisis reportedly became public in February 2026, following claims that Desola had moved her belongings out of their matrimonial home.
The couple, who reportedly began their relationship in 2002, got married in 2005 and have children together.
Although speculation about their relationship had circulated for months, neither party had offered a detailed public account of the circumstances surrounding their separation before the actor’s recent interview.
Afod, however, did not directly accuse his estranged wife of infidelity or establish that the issues he discussed were specific incidents that occurred in their marriage.
His comments were largely framed around his observations about relationships, marital expectations and the challenges couples face.
The actor’s remarks have since drawn attention to the pressures facing celebrity marriages, particularly where demanding professional commitments compete with family responsibilities.
For Afod, whose career has spanned several years in the Yoruba movie industry, his latest comments have provided a rare glimpse into his views on marriage, fidelity and the challenges of maintaining a family while pursuing a demanding entertainment career.
