A record 529 schoolchildren in Japan took their own lives in 2024, up by 16 from the previous year and the highest since data became available in 1980, according to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, reported Xinhua. The 2024 total comprised 15 elementary, 163 junior high and 351 high school students, with the figure for junior high school students marking the highest on record, according to the 2025 edition of the White Paper on Suicide Countermeasures adopted at a cabinet meeting on Friday. According to the report, school-related issues were the most common factor for suicides among those aged 19 and younger, followed by health and family issues. The report also found that many of the university students who died by suicide were 21 years old, possibly indicating concerns about finding employment or pursuing higher education. Suicide remains high among young people aged 15 to 29, with more than 3,000 deaths occurring annually since 2020, the report showed. The report noted that the number of suicides among young women has been on the rise, with 40 percent of those in their 20s who died by suicide having previously attempted it. Meanwhile, overall suicides in Japan in 2024 stood at 20,320, down 1,517 from the preceding year and the second lowest since statistics began in 1978.

The producer prices of manufactured products sold on the domestic market rose by 0.4 per cent, while the prices of export products went down by 1.0 per cent.

The President on Friday decided to extend Finlands contribution to the NATO Security Assistance and Training for Ukraine (NSATU), said the Ministry for Foreign Affairs in a press release. Finland will be able to deploy up to 15 soldiers to the NSATU in future. The current level of participation is five soldiers. The objective is for Finland to deploy ten soldiers to NSATU by early 2026. Finlands contribution could be increased to a maximum of 15 soldiers if the situation warrants it, taking into account the resources of the Finnish Defence Forces and the needs of NSATU. The Finnish soldiers carry out staff, administrative and support duties at the NSATU Headquarters in Wiesbaden, Germany, and, if necessary, in other NSATU functions within the territory of NATO Allies. The NSATU mission is to provide enduring, predictable and coherent support to Ukraine. It coordinates Allied materiel deliveries, maintenance, logistics and military training. NSATU also has tasks related to developing Ukraines armed forces and improving their compatibility with NATO. NSATU was launched in December 2024, and NATO member states have been asked to strengthen their contributions.

The Israel Defense Forces said in a statement that it struck and killed a senior Hezbollah commander in southern Lebanon on Friday, reported Xinhua. Abbas Hassan Karky, the logistics commander of Hezbollah's Southern Front headquarters, was killed in the Nabatieh area of southern Lebanon, the statement said. It claimed that Karky led efforts to rebuild Hezbollah's combat capabilities in recent months. "He was also responsible for reestablishing the organization's force structure and for managing the transfer and storage of weapons in southern Lebanon." Lebanon's National News Agency reported that an Israeli airstrike targeted a vehicle on a road in southern Lebanon on Friday, killing Abbas Hassan Karky. A Lebanese security source confirmed to Xinhua that Karky was a Hezbollah official, without providing further details. A ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel has been in effect since Nov. 27, 2024, largely halting clashes triggered by the Gaza war. However, the Israeli army continues to conduct occasional strikes in Lebanon, citing operations against Hezbollah "threats," while maintaining forces at five main positions along the Lebanese border.
