Recent seismic activity in Iceland’s Reykjanes Peninsula persists, with over 500 earthquakes recorded since midnight, causing significant road damage. As hundreds evacuated the area, smoke emerged from some of the resulting cracks.

While experts noted a decrease in seismic activity compared to yesterday, a 15-kilometer-long magma river beneath the peninsula remains active, posing a threat to the evacuated town of Grindavik.

A looming concern centers on the imminent eruption of the Fagradalsfjall Volcano, prompting a state of emergency declared last Saturday. This volcano reawakened after an 800-year dormancy with its 2021 eruption, and it is anticipated to erupt once again soon.

Srebrenica Genocide Victims Laid to Rest on 30th Anniversary

On Jul 11, 2025

Seven newly identified victims of the 1995 Srebrenica genocide were buried at the Potocari Memorial Cemetery in Bosnia and Herzegovina on the 30th anniversary of the massacre. The genocide, recognized by international courts, claimed over 8,300 Muslim lives during the Bosnian War.

The ceremony drew leaders and officials from across the region and Europe, including Turkish Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş, Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenković, and French and NATO representatives.

Bosnian official Denis Bećirović emphasized the years of propaganda and planning that led to the genocide, while French President Emmanuel Macron warned that denialism has no place in EU-aspiring nations. NATO’s Mark Rutte called it a lasting tragedy linking the Netherlands and Bosnia.

Sirens marked the remembrance across cities, and symbolic tributes—including a silent jump from Mostar Bridge and the release of lilies—honored the victims. The newly buried include victims aged between 17 and 67.
