Gunfire Shakes Philippine Senate as ICC Arrest Bid Unfolds

TL;DR Summary
Gunfire erupted at the Philippine Senate during an attempted arrest of Senator Ronald dela Rosa, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity tied to Duterte-era drug killings. Authorities confirmed shots were fired; injuries were not immediately known as dela Rosa remained under protective custody after rushing to the plenary in an apparent bid to resist arrest, following an ICC warrant issued earlier in the week. Senate President Alan Cayetano said gunshots were fired and suggested the building was under attack, while dela Rosa urged supporters to assemble to block his arrest.
