The Russian Ministry of Defense announced the inking of the protocol, which envisages amendments to the regional security agreement signed with Belarus in 1997.

In a statement on the protocol signed between Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu and Belarusian Defense Minister Viktor Khrenin in Minsk, Sergey Shoigu said, “Alliance relations with Belarus gained importance against unprecedented pressure from the West and the war declared against the union states. Belarus has always been our reliable partner and it continues to be.”

Shoigu appreciated Minsk’s stance against the pressure exerted by the USA and its allies against Belarus, as well as Russia.

Shoigu also said that the soldiers of the regional security group are conducting combat coordination activities on the territory of Belarus.

Dozens of Bodies Exhumed at Shifa Hospital’s Garden in Gaza Strip

On Mar 13, 2025

Palestinian Civil Defense teams announced that the bodies of 48 Palestinians who were killed at the Israeli bombardment of Shifa Hospital and buried in its garden have been exhumed.

Thirty-eight of the bodies were reportedly identified by their families but the rest could not be unidentified and were taken to the Health Ministry’s Forensic Medicine Unit.

“We came to Shifa Hospital escaping Israeli airstrikes. During the hospital siege, an Israeli sniper killed my 29-year-old son Mazen Abu Aita. The Israeli army took us out of the hospital and I do not know where my son’s body is. Some family members told me he was buried in a mass grave, but I do not know where he is,” said a woman named Muna Abu Aita, urging authorities to help seeking for his son.

There were a total of 160 bodies buried in the hospital garden and the process of moving them would take several days, said the Palestinian Civil Defense.
