The British military says a ship caught fire after being hit by an unknown projectile off the coast of Qatar. The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations Center says the attack Sunday caused a small fire on the bulk carrier, which was extinguished. There were no reported casualties, it says. It's the latest attack on vessels in the Persian Gulf since a shaky ceasefire stopped fighting between the United States and Iran.

Faith leaders in Southern California are uniting after devastating twin wildfires that hit the region in January 2025 causing unprecedented losses. Clergy are also assuming new roles and learning different skills to serve their communities in dire need. Sixteen months after the devastating fire, faith leaders are still helping community members pick up the pieces. They are learning about insurance and land use regulations while raising funds for essentials and to rebuild their houses of worship that were also gutted. Interfaith partnerships have strengthened after the fires out of necessity as faith leaders seek out mutual support. Congregations, which have been meeting in different venues to stay together, are now slowly making their way back home.
