The accident happened at about 4.45pm between the communes of Susch and Zernez in the far-eastern canton of Graubunden.

The coach hit a safety barrier before overturning and plunging down an embankment, a local police spokesman told Swiss media.

The Dutch Federation of Travel Agencies (ANVR) said that the coach belonged to the tour company Oad and was carrying 48 passengers, all of them from the Netherlands.

“Several people died in the coach crash in Susch. Several others were also injured,” the cantonal police said on social media, without giving details on the circumstances of the accident or the victims’ identities.

A police spokesman said that the force did not wish to provide a more detailed toll until the victims’ families had been informed.

Tensions in the Middle East escalate: The game between the United States and Iran continues, Yemen’s Houthi armed forces occupy key areas in the Red Sea, and international oil prices exceed $100

On the 10th, the United States and Iran continued to compete in the Strait of Hormuz. The US military claimed that the sea blockade caused 96 merchant ships to change course, and Iran claimed to have destroyed a US military unmanned vessel. At the same time, Yemen’s Houthi armed forces captured the Red Sea port city of Mucha and Hanish Islands. Affected by this, international oil prices rose sharply, with Brent crude oil closing at US$107.63, and US gasoline prices exceeded US$6 per gallon for the first time. Analysts warn that if the Bab el-Mandeb Strait is blocked, global energy supply will be further impacted.

China's Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations Sun Lei voted against the Iranian nuclear issue at the Security Council's public meeting and urged an end to political manipulation

Sun Lei, China's deputy permanent representative to the United Nations, voted against the Iranian nuclear issue at a public meeting of the United Nations Security Council, urging individual member states to stop using the Security Council to advance their own political agenda and avoid creating new obstacles. He pointed out that the window period of the memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran has expired, and that the United States' unilateral sanctions and military strikes have aggravated regional tensions. He called for the resumption of negotiations, the abandonment of force, and respect for Iran's right to peaceful use of nuclear energy. He also emphasized that China will continue to make efforts for a political settlement of the Iranian nuclear issue.

The documents suggest Mengele may have returned to or planned to enter Switzerland under a false identity after fleeing Germany, according to dpa. Mengele drowned in Brazil in 1979 while evading capture for his war crimes.
