Four people were taken to hospital after being stung by hornets near Redhill Market, with an active hornet nest later found and removed following the incident, according to reports by the local media. The victims were sent to Singapore General Hospital for treatment after the attack.

The incident occurred near Redhill Market, where emergency services responded after several people were attacked by hornets, according to Straits times. The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) confirmed that four people were conveyed to hospital, although details of their injuries and medical conditions were not fully disclosed.

One woman suffered multiple stings during the attack, leaving her bleeding and partially conscious, AsiaOne reported. The incident reportedly caused concern among nearby residents, though the circumstances that triggered the hornet attack remained unclear.

Authorities later located a hornet nest in the vicinity and removed it to reduce the risk of further incidents, according to the reports. The removal was carried out as a precaution after the insects were found to have posed a danger to people using the area.

A Singapore homeowner discovered a giant ant measuring about 1.3 inches (3.5cm) long inside a house, with the insect identified as one of the world's largest ant species. The unusual find has drawn attention to Singapore's tropical biodiversity and the hidden wildlife that can exist alongside urban living.

The large ant was found in a residential setting, surprising the homeowner due to its size compared with common household ants. The specimen's dimensions placed it among the largest ants known globally, according to The Cool Down.

Experts noted that giant ants are typically associated with tropical forest environments rather than homes. Their occasional appearance in urban areas highlights how Singapore's remaining natural habitats continue to support diverse insect species.

Singapore's combination of dense city development and tropical ecosystems allows many forms of wildlife to exist close to residential areas. The discovery adds to public interest in the country's unusual insects and native biodiversity.
