  "textContent": "\n\n\n\n**10:** The number of Cubans who took a Florida-registered speedboat to Cuba’s coast on Wednesday before _engaging in a gunfight_ with border troops from the communist-run island. Four of them died in the shootout. All 10 reportedly resided in the United States. US Secretary of State **Marco Rubio** said the incident was not part of a US government operation.\n\n****\n\n* * *\n\n**7,667:** The number of people who _died or went missing_ when attempting to cross perilous migration routes worldwide, such as the Mediterranean Sea or the Horn of Africa in 2025, per a UN agency’s report published Thursday. The number is lower than in 2024, although the agency warned the real death toll is likely higher.\n\n**6:** The _number_ of years that Hong Kong media tycoon **Jimmy Lai** , a democracy activist, had been sentenced in prison for fraud in 2022, a conviction that was _overturned_ on Thursday. Lai will remain behind bars under a separate 20-year sentence he received earlier this month for conspiracy and sedition under Hong Kong’s 2020 national security law that effectively outlawed subversion and dissent.\n\n**5:** The _percentage-point_ increase Danish Prime Minister **Mette Frederiksen** ’s party’s approval rating has gained following the country’s tensions with US President **Donald Trump** over Greenland. The boost has led Frederiksen to call for an election at the end of March in hopes of picking up seats in parliament.",
