russia’s soyuz launches two galileo navigation satellies into orbit from french guiana

The Guiana Space Center operator Arianespace launched two Galileo navigation satellites into orbit on-board of Soyuz-ST-B carrier, the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) announced. The launch was conducted after two days of delay due to bad weather. According to Roscosmos, the main reason for launching the satellite from the Guiana Space Center is that the Soyuz rockets can carry 15% more payload, and reach the orbit faster.

In the following years, Russia will launch six more Galileo navigation satellites into orbit.

Srebrenica Genocide Victims Laid to Rest on 30th Anniversary

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.
