This is VOA News. Reporting by remote, I'm Joe Ramsey. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Sunday COVID-19 has "shaken" India. He is urging his people to get vaccinated and not be swayed by any rumors about the vaccines. India's Health Ministry recorded 350,000 new coronavirus cases on Sunday. No single country has dealt with as many infections in one day during the nearly 14 months global pandemic, not even the U.S. or Brazil. India sets a 24-hour record high for the fourth straight day and public health officials warned the figures are likely undercounted. U.S. President Joe Biden was among United States officials pledging help on Sunday. Britain, France and Germany also say they will send aid as well India's archfoe Pakistan.

Iraq's Interior Ministry says a fire sparked by an oxygen tank explosion killed at least 82 people and injured 110 at a COVID-19 hospital in Baghdad. Relatives of patients scrambled Sunday during the blaze to save their loved ones. Medical officials say patients have been moved to other hospitals. But several families were still searching the burned hospital hours after the fire was out after failing to find them elsewhere.

Military officials say a missing Indonesian submarine has been found broken into at least three parts deep in the Bali Sea. The country's president sent condolences to relatives of the 53 crew. Rescuers found new objects including a life vest and they believe belong to those aboard the sub which lost contact on Wednesday as it prepared to conduct a torpedo drill.
