Fire broke out at the world’s biggest market, Rungis International Market, in Paris, France. The black smoke could be seen from kilometers away. The fire was extinguished by 100 firefighters and 30 fire trucks. Fire department spokesperson stated that there were no killed or injured during the fire and the cause has not been revealed yet.
The market is providing most of the fresh goods to Paris and the regions around. The 7 kilometers large marketplace employs nearly 12 thousand workers.
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.
