The bodies have all been retrieved from the river since 2017 and buried in local cemeteries in three border towns of eastern Bosnia. Dr. Vidak Simic examined more than 40 corpses of migrants and refugees so far retrieved from the river. Under local laws, bone samples are taken from unidentified bodies before they are buried in paupers' graves. However, Simic has been keeping the unnamed migrants’ bone samples long past the time required by the law. At the cemetery in Bijeljina, where nearly half of all the unidentified migrants pulled out of Drina so far are buried, 41 trees were planted and a memorial for the drowned was erected.

☆ Russia's FSB says traces of explosives found on foreign grain ship

July 24 (Reuters) - Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) said on Monday that it had found traces of explosives on a ship travelling from Turkey to the port of Rostov-on-Don in Russia to pick up grain. The FSB said the ship had been docked in the Ukrainian port of Kiliia in May, and that it may have been used to deliver explosives to Ukraine. It said the ship had changed its name while in the Turkish port of Tuzla earlier this month and replaced its crew, which had consisted of 12 Ukrainian nationals. "These circumstances may indicate the possibility of using the foreign civilian ship to deliver explosives to the territory of Ukraine," it said. It came one week after Russia pulled out of an agreement that had enabled Ukraine to export grain from its Black Sea ports, with ships undergoing security inspections.

ISTANBUL, Jan 25 (Reuters) - A Turkish-owned general cargo ship was struck by a missile in the port of the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson, sparking a fire, according to video footage from the scene and shipping sources. The missile hit the bridge of the vessel named Tuzla on Tuesday, maritime security company Ambrey said, causing the fire. A shipping source said there are twelve Turkish ships trapped in Ukrainian ports, including in Kherson, that are not covered by the U.N.-brokered Black Sea grain deal. "There has been an attack yesterday night, most probably to the port, and an explosive charge seems to have hit the ship. Turkish ships in Kherson are manned by a skeleton crew so there are no injuries or casualties," the source said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

☆ Number of oil tankers waiting at Bosphorus rises by five - Turkish agency

ISTANBUL, Dec 8 (Reuters) - The number of oil tankers waiting in the Black Sea to cross Istanbul's Bosphorus strait on the way to the Mediterranean rose by five to 16 on Thursday, a shipping agency said, amid talks between Western and Turkish officials on steps to resolve the tanker queues there. A British Treasury official has said those talks were happening after the G7 and European Union rolled out new restrictions on Dec. 5 aimed at Russian oil exports. But a separate Turkish measure in force since the start of the month has caused a logjam, requiring vessels to provide proof they have insurance covering the duration of their transit through the Bosphorus strait or when calling at Turkish ports. The Tribeca shipping agency named five new tankers longer than 200 metres waiting north of the Bosphorus strait to cross southbound towards the Mediterranean Sea, in addition to the 11 named a day earlier. At the Dardanelles strait further south, nine tankers were waiting to cross southbound, down from 12 a day earlier, the agency said.

☆ How Ukraine Blew Up a Key Russian Bridge

Last month, a truck laden with explosives drove across the Kerch bridge, a critical artery connecting Russia with its troops fighting in southern Ukraine. Structural and explosive experts who reviewed the bridge’s design and imagery of the blast offered new details on how the bridge was damaged. There are few direct parallels to such a spectacular act of sabotage on a bridge behind enemy lines in wartime. The blast ignited a train carrying large fuel tanks on an adjacent bridge, creating flames and a plume of smoke. “If it were a suicide truck bomb,” Mr. Nair said, “I would think the guy would have destroyed the main span.”But the trigger for the bomb is still unknown.

☆ More than 700 dolphins in the Black Sea have died since the war in Ukraine began. Scientists believe the fighting cripples their ability to navigate, find food, and talk to each other.

There's been an increase in dolphin strandings around the Black Sea since the war in Ukraine began. Dolphins and porpoises talk and navigate via sound, which may be disrupted by the loud noises of war. "Russia's war against Ukraine escalated in February 2022 puts the entire Black Sea basin under a huge threat. Dolphins, porpoises, and whales have an acute sense of hearing and use echolocation to map out their environment. The areas were identified as important habitats for three species that the IUCN classifies as threatened or endangered: the Black Sea common dolphin, the Black Sea harbor porpoise, and the Black Sea bottlenose dolphin.

''Criza umanitară devine o realitate din cauza lipsei de acţiune (...). Cerem autorităţilor să acţioneze urgent pentru a salva vieţi'', potrivit unui comunicat al delegaţiei. După o toamnă blândă, temperaturile au început să scadă în ultimele zile în această ţara muntoasă balcanică şi au fost înregistrate primele ninsori.În regiunea Bihac (nord-vest), unde majoritatea migranţilor se află în apropierea graniţei croate şi a Uniunii Europene, temperatura va scădea la 0 ° C în următoarele zile, conform prognozelor meteo. "Condiţiile meteorologice actuale pun serios în pericol viaţa a peste 2.000 de persoane care dorm afară în condiţii cumplite", a indicat delegaţia UE.De altfel, 1.300 de migranţi sunt găzduiţi într-un centru de primire din Lipa, lângă Bihac, care nu a fost pregătit pentru condiţiile de iarnă, potrivit sursei citate.Delegaţia, care afirmă că există mijloace ale Uniunii Europene puse la dispoziţia autorităţilor locale, solicită guvernului să reinstaleze un anumit număr de migranţi într-un centru de primire din Bihac, care a fost închis la sfârşitul lunii septembrie.Acest centru a fost închis de autorităţile locale cu o lună şi jumătate înainte de alegerile municipale, în răspuns la presiunea localnicilor.Construirea unui alt centru de primire, prevăzută la un moment dat în regiunea Tuzla (nord-est), este de asemenea necesară pentru a-i găzdui pe toţi migranţii, potrivit delegaţiei.Ministrul bosniac al Securităţii a indicat la începutul lunii decembrie că peste 6.600 de migranţi au fost cazaţi în mai multe centre de primire din regiunea Bihac, din Saraievo şi Mostar (sud), scrie agerpres.ro.

☆ Poluarea atmosferită din Priștina a atins un nivel periculos pentru sănătatea umană
▼ + stars: | 2020-11-26 | by ( Publika.Md - Aici Sunt Știrile | ) www.publika.md time to read: +1 min

Nivelul de poluare atmosferică în Priștina depășește semnificativ limitele admise, existând un risc pentru sănătatea umană. Potrivit unor experți citați de Reuters, Priștina a fost tot timpul poluată, dar problema smog-ului a intrat în atenție abia în ultimii ani. Kosovo deține a cincea cea mai mare rezervă de lignit din lume și utilizează cărbunele pentru a produce energie. Un studiu al Băncii Mondiale din 2013 arată că poluarea din Kosovo provoacă anual 852 de decese premature și 318 noi cazuri de bronșită. Reuters menționează că orașele Sarajevo, Tuzla și Zenica din Bosnia și capitala Macedoniei, Skopje, înregistrează niveluri similare de poluare.
