The controlled discharge of radioactive waste water from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Japan has begun. TEPCO, the company that built a 1-kilometer underwater tunnel from the power plant to the Pacific Ocean for the discharge, announced that the discharge of 1.3 million tons of treated water stored in approximately 1,000 tanks began around 13:00 local time. In the first discharge operation, which will take 17 days, 7,800 tons of water will be released into the sea. Radioactive material measurements will be made in the waters off the power plant after the discharge, and the results will be shared with the public.

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.
