Honduran lawmaker injured by explosion

A Honduran lawmaker, Gladis Aurora Lopez, was injured when an explosive device was thrown during a National Party news briefing, highlighting the country’s tense political climate following a disputed presidential election. The National Party condemned the attack, blaming the opposing Libertad y Refundacion (LIBRE) party for fostering political violence. Despite the National Electoral Council declaring National Party candidate Nasry Asfura the winner, LIBRE contests the results due to alleged irregularities. Asfura is set to take office on January 27, marking the return of the National Party after four years of left-wing leadership.
