Swiss Police Deploy Tear Gas Against Protesters at Geneva UN Offices

Participants hurled stones and ignited flares at a UN telecommunication building, turning the diplomatic quarter into a focal point of unrest. Authorities worked through the afternoon to disperse the group and secure the premises, attempting to restore order as the confrontation intensified against the backdrop of broader geopolitical friction.

By the time police managed to push the crowd away, the damage to the infrastructure served as a stark indicator of the day's hostilities.
