The firework show of the traditional Ignis Brunensis Fireworks festival named “Messages from the Continents to the Continents” lighted up the skies over Spilberk Castle in the Czechia city of Brno. Hundreds of drones were used for the first time to mark the 60th anniversary of Russian Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin’s journey into the space. Artistics teams from 13 countries will present different fireworks on the second day of the show named “Messages from Europe” on August 14.
Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova confirmed that Russia officially recognizes Karabakh as part of Azerbaijan. The statement followed backlash over Russian Vice President Vladimir Medinsky’s remarks referring to the region as “disputed.”
Zakharova clarified that Medinsky was discussing the humanitarian aspect of the conflict and urged against misinterpreting his words. Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry criticized Medinsky’s comments and reminded that Russia’s official stance recognizes Karabakh as Azerbaijani territory.
