Amazon Cargo Plane Crash at Miami Airport Kills Five

This is the morning edition of the One News Page Global Briefing, for Wednesday, the ninth of September, twenty twenty-six. Here is what matters now.

An Amazon Prime Air cargo plane crashed at Miami International Airport on Sunday afternoon after a flight from Puerto Rico overran the runway, struck vehicles and caught fire, killing at least five people and seriously injuring five others, officials said. The Boeing seven hundred and sixty-seven-three hundred came to rest with thick black smoke billowing from the fuselage, video from the scene showed. On Monday the National Transportation Safety Board said both black boxes had been recovered from the wreckage and were being sent to Washington, where investigators will use them to confirm data including the aircraft's speed on landing.

In the Middle East, Saudi Arabia has vowed to retaliate after Iran-backed Houthi forces from Yemen attacked four Saudi cities overnight, injuring seventy-three people and setting oil installations ablaze, Saudi authorities said. The strikes targeted cities and energy facilities and mark a sharp escalation in a conflict that had been largely paused by a four-year truce. Riyadh's warning raises the prospect of a renewed full-blown war between the kingdom and the Houthis, and the latest escalation threatens to pull Saudi Arabia and the militia back into sustained hostilities, analysts and officials warned. The assault on Gulf energy facilities rattled markets, helping push oil prices near one hundred dollars a barrel on Tuesday.

In the Pacific, Hurricane Lowell, a major Category three storm, skirted western Hawaii late Monday and through Tuesday, bringing damaging winds, torrential rain and punishing waves that left tens of thousands of homes and businesses without power, the National Hurricane Center said. Hurricane warnings were in effect for Kauai and Ni'ihau, while Oahu, the state's most populous island with close to one million residents, was under a tropical storm warning. Officials warned of flash flooding, mudslides and possible tornadoes as the storm passed just west of the islands. Hawaii had declared a state of emergency before Lowell's arrival as the third system in just over three weeks to threaten the state during an active hurricane season.

Meanwhile, the United States said, The U S military said it destroyed five Iranian oil tankers on Tuesday in response to the latest attacks on American warships, as tit-for-tat violence surged across the region. American forces struck the tankers in the Gulf of Oman, according to the U S account. Iran attempted to strike a U S Navy warship with ballistic missiles and also hit American targets in Jordan, the U S said. The clashes helped push oil prices close to one hundred dollars a barrel.

In Asia, Tung Chee-hwa, Hong Kong's first leader after the one thousand nine hundred and ninety-seven handover from British to Chinese rule, has died at eighty-nine. His tenure was marked by major crises and protests as he sought to balance Beijing's demands with those of Hong Kong residents, ultimately making clear that Beijing was now in charge.

In U S politics, former Republican senator John E Sununu won the New Hampshire Republican Senate primary on Tuesday, defeating Scott Brown to secure the party's nomination. Sununu served one term in the Senate from two thousand and three to two thousand and nine. The Guardian reported that Sununu was backed by Donald Trump. On the Democratic side, Representative Chris Pappas defeated progressive challenger Karishma Manzur to win his party's nomination for the seat being vacated by retiring Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen. The November general election between Pappas and Sununu is expected to be a closely watched contest that could help determine control of the U S Senate.

In sport and business, L I V Golf, the Saudi-funded breakaway circuit that upended professional golf after its twenty twenty-two launch, filed for bankruptcy protection in the United States on Tuesday. The tour said it was seeking protection as it looks to "begin the next chapter." The filing follows the loss of backing from the tour's deep-pocketed Saudi investors this year. L I V Golf filed with at least forty-five million dollars owed to players, who will now have the option to leave. Top recruits such as Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau may still be involved, the tour indicated.

In Britain, Prince George, thirteen, began his first day at Eton College on Tuesday, accompanied by his parents, Prince William and Princess Catherine of Wales. He was dropped off at the all-boys boarding school in Berkshire.

In Massachusetts, Lindsay Clancy’s lawyer, Kevin Reddington, has asked President Trump to pardon her despite the case being under state law, citing her character and hardships. Jury foreperson Roni Carlson said a lone juror expressed reasonable doubt but refused to acquit, leaving the panel deadlocked, while another juror said doubt was too great for a guilty verdict. Patrick Clancy’s lawyer threatened legal action against conspiracy theorists who accuse him of killing the children and framing his ex‑wife, after a Massachusetts judge declared a mistrial.
