Agnes Ngetich breaks the world record for the Half Marathon for women
Kenyan Agnes Ngetich broke the world record for the half marathon in a single second, after winning the World Road Running Championships held in Copenhagen, Denmark, today.
Ngetich completed the race in 1 hour, 5 minutes, and 15 seconds, setting a new record.
Ngetich, who also broke the world record for the 10-kilometer race for women last year, led the race from the beginning until he crossed the finish line.
Ngetich defeated his Kenyan teammate Veronica Loleo, who finished second by a difference of 50 seconds.
The previous record was held by another Kenyan, Peres Jepchirchir, who won the World Half Marathon title in 2020.
However, the overall world record for the Half Marathon for women is held by Ethiopian citizen Letesenbet Gidey, who ran for 1 hour, 2 minutes, and 52 seconds in 2021.
Today's victory is another major second place this year for Ngetich, who is 25 years old.
Ukraine carries out the largest attack in Russia while elections are ongoing
Ukraine has initiated what Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin has called the largest drone attack ever carried out against the Russian capital, Moscow, today.
These attacks occurred while Russia is holding elections, today being the final day of the parliamentary elections, which President Vladimir Putin described as a test to ascertain support for the war in Ukraine.
These drone attacks caused the deaths of two people in the city of Moscow and four others in the Kherson region controlled by Russia.
The refinery in the city of Moscow, which has been targeted before, has also been damaged by these Ukrainian attacks.
The lower house elections or State Duma are the first to be held since Russia started the war against Ukraine in February 2022.
These elections are expected to reward the ruling party of United Russia, the strength and ability to continue ruling.

DRC begins to screen health workers for Ebola
Health workers in Bunia, the epicenter of the Ebola virus outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), have begun to receive Ervebo vaccine, while experts seek to determine its effectiveness against the Bundibugyo strain of Ebola.
The vaccination campaign initiated by the Military Governor of Ituri Province yesterday aims to protect health workers on the front line, although the vaccine works better against the Zaire strain of Ebola.
Due to the severity of the current outbreak, Ervebo vaccines are being administered under a special plan, as there is no medically approved vaccine against the Bundibugyo strain of Ebola.
Major General Gaby Kasongo Mulumba, Military Governor of Ituri, also received the vaccine along with some health workers in the campaign to control the Bundibugyo virus.
The DRC has received approximately 70,000 doses of the Ervebo vaccine. Approximately 50,000 doses are expected to be used to screen frontline health workers, while the remaining 20,000 doses are reserved for medical trials.
As of now, authorities have reported more than 7,500 confirmed cases of the virus, with 3,639 deaths.
