According to the BBC, Uganda's King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV, who was once the world's youngest reigning monarch, was buried on Saturday days after a dispute over who should succeed him. Oyo, 34, ruled the traditional kingdom of Tooro in western Uganda from the age of three and died last month while receiving cancer treatment in the United States. Thousands of mourners lined the streets as his casket was taken to the royal tombs in Fort Portal for a private ceremony. TV presenter Prince Edward Rukidi Kijanangoma, 56, who was named by clan elders as the next monarch, reportedly cast nine coffee beans into Oyo's grave in a ritual marking the end of one reign and the start of another. But Oyo's family had earlier rejected Kijanangoma, his cousin, and Princess Ruth Komuntale said the late king left a 2022 will naming his young son as successor. The boy's identity has not been disclosed. Archbishop of the Church of Uganda Stephen Kazimba Mugalu and President Yoweri Museveni both called for unity, while the Babiito royal clan defended its choice of Kijanangoma.

Bitcoin wallet Electrum has released version 4.8.2 with multiple security fixes and broader codebase hardening. According to Odaily, the update addresses a critical backup issue affecting some Lightning wallets that use non-deterministic keys and anchored channels, and it includes fixes based on reports from Bitcoin Red Team, Calle, l0rinc, haoxucu, and m0wer. The release also strengthens Lightning HTLC validation, rejects malformed xpub and xprv keys that were previously accepted, expands security hardening across the codebase, and prevents the Android QR code scanner from reading screenshots. Electrum said affected users will see a warning when starting the wallet and should export a new backup, as older backups cannot correctly restore funds in this scenario. It is the third security-focused release from Electrum since July, following versions 4.8.0 and 4.8.1.

According to Jin10, Tasnim News Agency, citing informed sources, reported that Iran and Oman reached an agreement in early Shahrivar in the Iranian calendar, around the end of August, after intensive technical and diplomatic consultations. The understanding between Iran and Oman will be formally announced soon, and foreign ministers from Gulf coastal states will attend the relevant meeting. According to the source close to the negotiating team, the understanding was reached only by Iran and Oman, while other countries will attend the meeting only to learn the details of the route and transit arrangements and to signal that they do not oppose the arrangement. The source said Iran and Oman agreed on a new route into and out of the Strait of Hormuz and its specific arrangements, with the inbound route into the Persian Gulf entirely within Iran's territorial waters and part of the outbound route also within Iran's territorial waters. Ships will pass through the route under Iran's arrangements. After the plan is implemented, the southern route that the United States has insisted on keeping open will be closed, which the source said was the main trigger for the recent renewed tensions. The source added that Iraq will also attend the meeting, but these countries are only being informed of the outcome of the Iran-Oman talks, and the decision on the specific details of the understanding was made during technical-level talks between Iran and Oman. The source stressed that the understanding does not mean the Strait of Hormuz will be reopened, and said Iran has conveyed seven conditions for reopening the strait to the U.S. through intermediaries; until those conditions are implemented and approved by Iran's highest-level institutions, the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed.
