Confirmed cases have risen to 72,225. Of these, 37,722 are from the capital, Dhaka, and 34,503 from other cities. Hospitals are overwhelmed, hosting 9,463 patients for ongoing treatment, while a staggering 62,422 have been discharged. The healthcare system is under immense strain, evident from the fact that many patients find themselves resting in hospital corridors due to lack of space.
Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova confirmed that Russia officially recognizes Karabakh as part of Azerbaijan. The statement followed backlash over Russian Vice President Vladimir Medinsky’s remarks referring to the region as “disputed.”
Zakharova clarified that Medinsky was discussing the humanitarian aspect of the conflict and urged against misinterpreting his words. Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry criticized Medinsky’s comments and reminded that Russia’s official stance recognizes Karabakh as Azerbaijani territory.
