Maldives Cave Tragedy: Two bodies of the five Italian divers who died in Vaavu Atoll’s “Shark Cave” have been recovered by Finnish specialists and brought up to about 30m, with the remaining two expected to be retrieved next; authorities say the cave dive was far deeper than the Maldives recreational limit of 30m and are probing multiple factors, including whether the team descended deeper than expected and whether permits matched the actual cave operation. Recovery Under Pressure: The search had been paused after a Maldivian military diver died during the retrieval attempt, underscoring the extreme risks of narrow passages and poor visibility. Gaza Aid Flotilla Diplomacy: Maldives joined a growing list of countries condemning Israel’s interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla, calling it a blatant violation of international law and demanding the release of detained activists.
