World News: At least 15 killed, 18 injured in Gloria Funicular crash in Lisbon

This is The World Now, bringing you the latest stories from around the globe.

In Portugal, the derailment of the iconic Gloria Funicular cable railway in Lisbon claimed the lives of at least 15 people and injured 18 others.

The accident occurred around 6:05 PM local time on Wednesday.

A cable reportedly snapped, sending the tram down a steep hill before it crashed into a building and overturned.

Aerial and bystander footage showed the yellow vehicle crushed and pinned against the structure.

Lisbon Mayor Carlos Moedas described the tragedy as a "tragic moment for the city."

The Portuguese government has declared a day of national mourning, while the Lisbon city hall announced three days of municipal mourning.

President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa offered his condolences and called for a swift investigation by the prosecutor general's office.

The line served residents and tourists since 1885 and carried about 3 million passengers annually.

Iran increased its stockpile of enriched uranium just before an Israeli strike on its nuclear facilities on June 13.

That's according to the Associated Press on Wednesday, citing a confidential report from the International Atomic Energy Agency, which said Iran possessed 440.9 kilograms of uranium enriched to up to 60 percent, an increase of around 32 kilograms since May.

At that level, the uranium would require only modest additional processing to reach weapons-grade levels of nearly 90 percent.

The IAEA noted that this quantity could potentially be used to produce up to ten nuclear bombs if further enriched.

In response to Israeli attacks in June, Iran significantly reduced its cooperation with the IAEA, permitting only one inspection at its Bushehr power plant.

IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi urged Tehran to reach an agreement promptly to restore full access and monitoring.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sent a warning to the drug cartels on Wednesday, saying, "The U.S. military will wage war on narcoterrorist organizations," and that similar operations, such as the one launched against a Venezuelan drug cartel vessel in the southern Caribbean, "will happen again."

Tuesday's targeted military strike on a drug-carrying vessel killed 11 "narcoterrorists," according to President Donald Trump.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth echoed the stance, affirming that assets are deployed across air and sea, adding that designated narcoterrorists operating in those waters "will face the same fate."

Finally, legendary British band Radiohead have announced a return to the stage, marking their first tour in seven years.

According to the band's official social media account on Wednesday, Radiohead will launch a 20-date European tour this November and December, featuring four-night residencies in Madrid, Bologna, London, Copenhagen, and Berlin.

Drummer Philip Selway shared that last year's rehearsals revived their creative spark, saying, "After a seven-year pause, it felt really good to play the songs again and reconnect."

Registration for tickets will be available at Radiohead.com starting Friday.

Regular ticket sales will begin a week later. Choi Chi-hee, Arirang News.
