Good morning, Chi Hee.

Good morning, Eunji.

Let's begin with the aftermath of the recent fighting between Israel and Iran. Fill us in on this.

Iran's judiciary says Israel's airstrike on Iran's Evin Prison last week had killed dozens.

An official from Iran's judiciary said on Sunday that 71 people were killed in the Evin Prison strike on June 23, which included administrative staff, political detainees, and nearby residents.

The strike targeted the prison's entrance and administrative areas, leaving visible damage to buildings and surrounding areas.

Evin Prison is known for housing political prisoners, journalists, academics, and foreign nationals.

Some detainees were relocated after the attack.

France, whose citizens are also held there, said the strike endangered foreign nationals and demanded proof of their safety.

The June 23 attack came a day before the ceasefire between Israel and Iran. Israel's defense ministry had said it was attacking "regime targets and government repression bodies in the heart of Tehran."
