Africa 54: Israel strikes Iran with missiles; Kenya mourns military officers, Rwanda pays tribute to genocide victims

Israel carried out a predawn aerial strike inside Iran on Friday – and U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken says the U.S. has not been involved in any offensive operation. Kenya declares three-days of mourning for military chief, and others killed in a helicopter crash. And -- in our entertainment report, Heather Maxwell brings her popular Drop the Needle music quiz and puts VOA Africa’s Anasthasie Tudieshe to the test.
