A MiG 21 LanceR type fighter jet belonging to the 86th Air Base, performing an air patrol in Romania, disappeared from the radar at 20:03 local time in the area between Cogealac and Gura Dobrogei. It was announced that the IAR-330 Puma type rescue helicopter, which was assigned to search for the plane, crashed while the plane was going to the area, and 5 crew members on the helicopter lost their lives. The status of the fighter plane, which disappeared from the radar, is not yet clear.
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.
