Chlorine gas leak from old gas cylinder killed 2 people and poisoned 29 others in an ironworks in the city of Culiacan in the Mexican state of Sinaloa. Five children, 2 paramedics, 1 firefighter, and 1 police officer were among those poisoned, officials stated. A large number of paramedics and civil defense teams were dispatched to the scene. Police teams involved in the evacuation were washed with pressurized water to ensure that no chlorine gas residues remained on their uniforms.
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.
