A man shot dead 12 people in Montenegro before dying from self-inflicted injuries early on Thursday, authorities said, in one of the nation's worst mass killings. The attacker, named by police as 45-year-old Aleksandar Aco Martinovic, initially killed four people when he opened fire after a brawl at a restaurant in Cetinje town on Wednesday afternoon. He then shot dead eight people, including two children, at three other locations, prosecutor Andrijana Nastic said.

SOUTH KOREA

Impeached Yoon vows to 'fight until end'

South Korea's impeached President Yoon Suk-yeol told supporters in a letter he will "fight until the end" as he faces an attempt by authorities to arrest him over his short-lived imposition of martial law last month, a lawyer said on Thursday. Police scuffled on Thursday with Yoon supporters who laid down in the road to try to block access to his residence. Police issued dispersal orders and then forcibly removed some protesters, Reuters reported.
