Russia strikes Azovstal factory in mariupol

The Azov Battalion of the Ukrainian army has released the latest images of the Azovstal factory in the city of Mariupol, where Russia continues its attacks. Stating that it is extremely difficult to gather information from the region, UN Spokesperson Stephane Dujarric told reporters, “It is very difficult for us to give an exact figure. Of course, we have to work in partnership with the ICRC (International Committee of the Red Cross), with the highest levels of both Ukraine and Russia. “We continue to work to get more people out of the Mariupol region and Ukraine,” he said.

Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Irina Vereshchuk, who is responsible for the evacuations, said in a statement yesterday that 344 people were evacuated from Mariupol after a long hiatus. “They were evacuated from the cities of Vasilywvka and brought to Zaporizhia. This is also a small victory. Thanks to the staff of the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross, those who took part in the humanitarian corridor, the drivers and the employees of the Emergency Service. The Mariupol humanitarian operation continues,” she said.

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.
