ongoing forest fire in chile sweeps lenga forest

The fire that broke out on January 25 in a forest area in Chile’s Tierra del Fuego province continues. The flames burned 1,235 hectares of land in the commune of Timaukel, according to a statement by the National Forest Corporation (CONAF). A CONAF official John Revello stated that difficult terrain, vegetation, fallen trees and weather conditions made it difficult to control the fire. Minister of Agriculture Maria Emilia Undurraga said that the area affected by the fire is home to lenga trees, a species unique to Tierra del Fuego.

The air and land crews continue responding to the fire.

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.
