On July 7th 2022, Viktor Kolesnik, holding the body of his wife Natalia Kolesnik, who had been killed by a Russian bomb in a residential area of Kharkiv, Ukraine, broke down in tears.

　　On July 7th 2022, Viktor Koretsnik, a man who lost his wife Natalia Koretsnik in a Russian bombing in a residential area of Kharkiv, Ukraine, broke down in tears while holding her body. On July 7th 2022, paramedics carried the body of a woman who had been killed in a Russian shelling in a residential area of Kharkiv, Ukraine. A man cried as he hugged the body of the woman who had been killed by Russian shelling. Victor, her husband, who was kneeling, held his wife Natalia's body in his arms, and with one arm he held her shoulders, pressing his unshaven chin against the dust on her face.

　　Just before the Russian bombardment began, his wife Natalia had gone out to feed the cats. It was the afternoon of July 7th, 2022, and she was in the middle of running errands in the residential area. Kharkov is Ukraine's second largest city, located close to the border with Russia, and is only a short drive from the Russian border. On a hot and humid July 7th, Natalia, his wife, was hit by a shell in the overgrown courtyard. She was one of three bodies scattered around the area. Viktor, her husband, who was nearby, heard his mobile phone ring in the wallet on the bench. Viktor, her husband, was shocked by the sight of his wife's body. He didn't want to let go of his wife. He stroked her head.

　“It's okay, Dad,” said his son, Oleksandr. He saw the paramedics waiting to close the bag containing his wife, Natalia's body, and said, “She's dead. Get up.” His father, Viktor, asked his son, “Don't you understand?” “Understand what?” Oleksandr replied, “This is my mother. Please, Dad. Please, Dad,” pleaded his son. His husband Viktor, who was kneeling down, held his wife Natalia's body in his arms, holding her shoulders with one arm and pressing his unshaven chin against the dust on her face. He took his wife's left hand in his own hand and covered it with his other hand again. His son Oleksandr's pleas continued, but his husband Viktor again shook his son's hand away.

　　Son Alexander said, “Dad, go.” But husband Viktor said, “I can't go. Look, my wife is covered in blood.” The son pleaded, “Everyone has to carry her out.” Viktor Viktor began to close the body bag himself, and then the paramedics took over the body of his wife Natalia. As the neighbors watched from the edge of the field, the Kharkiv authorities began searching for shrapnel. Her husband, Viktor, was left alone on a bench and cried. This was one of the events that led to the death of hundreds of people in Kharkov in the 19 weeks since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war. It is certain that there will be more deaths in the future as the Russian army reorganizes and attempts to gain territory in eastern Ukraine. The UN Human Rights Office has confirmed the deaths of at least 4,889 civilians across Ukraine since the Russian invasion.

During the Battle of Namul Island, part of the Battle of Kwajalein Atoll in the Pacific War, on February 1st 1944, the Japanese army machine gun and the bodies of the crew were scattered after being hit by a direct hit from the American army.

   During the Battle of Namur Island on February 1st 1944, during the American invasion of Kwajalein Atoll in the Pacific War, the bodies of Japanese soldiers and the remains of a Japanese machine gun that had been destroyed by a direct hit from an American shell were scattered around the island. Around the Japanese heavy machine gun that had been hit by American artillery, the bodies of three or four Japanese soldiers were scattered.

     During the Battle of Namul Island in the Kwajalein Atoll in the Pacific War, the Army Type 92 7.7mm Heavy Machine Gun, a representative heavy machine gun of the Japanese Army with a high rate of accuracy, was blown up by a direct hit from an American shell. It had a jagged air-cooled cooling system and a tripod. It was capable of firing 200 rounds per minute, and during the Battle of Saipan, four of these guns were deployed to each infantry company of the Japanese Army. The triangular device at the muzzle is a flash suppressor, and there are several strips of mesh-like bands scattered around. The belt-like ammunition band is loaded with bullets from the left side, and when it is empty, it is ejected to the right side. Originally, it was used by the army, but the navy also used it.

     On February 1st 1944, the American army landed on Roi-Namul Island. The airfield on the western half of Roi Island was quickly occupied, and the eastern half of Namul Island fell by midday on the following day, February 2nd. Roi-Namul Island is located in the northern part of Kwajalein Atoll, one of the many volcanic islands and coral atolls that make up the Marshall Islands. The American troops who landed saw the devastating damage to the Japanese military positions from the bombing and shelling that had taken place before the invasion. Destroyed sea walls, uprooted trees, demolished buildings, and wounded positions were scattered everywhere. The Japanese soldiers hid themselves in the rubble, and the Japanese military was decisively annihilated. The Japanese positions were destroyed by explosives and artillery. The intense bombardment caused the vegetation to disappear, and the battle became a street-clearing battle rather than a jungle battle. The piles of rubble and the hollows from the shells were the only places to hide. In the Battle of Kwajalein Atoll as a whole, 313 American soldiers were killed and 502 were wounded. On the other hand, the estimated 3,563-strong Japanese garrison was wiped out. 

An Iraqi soldier lies dead at the entrance to his bunker. He was killed by British troops as they cleared the Al-Faw Peninsula on March 22, 2003.

     An Iraqi soldier was killed by British forces who had captured the Al-Faw Peninsula on March 22, 2003, during the Iraq War, and his body lay collapsed at the entrance to a trench. In the Battle of Al-Faw, British forces quickly captured the Al-Faw Peninsula, which had been defended by Iraqi forces. They took away the oil revenue from the Iraqi government and defended against the scorched earth policy that the Iraqi army had carried out in Kuwait in 1991. The British military offensive began with an attack on Al-Faw on the night of March 20-21, 2003, and mobilized more than 2,000 troops. Fifteen British soldiers were killed in action, and four American soldiers were killed in action. Approximately 150 Iraqi soldiers were killed in action.

    The coalition forces launched a military invasion of Iraq on March 20th 2003. At the same time, they began air strikes and amphibious assaults on the Al-Faw Peninsula in order to secure the oil fields and important ports. The British Army secured the oil fields in southern Iraq. A total of 248,000 American soldiers, 45,000 British soldiers and 2,000 Australian soldiers were dispatched to invade Iraq.

     The Battle of Al-Faw began on March 20th 2003, at the same time as the invasion of Iraq, and lasted for four days.The coalition forces captured all the gas and oil platforms on the Al-Faw Peninsula before they were sabotaged and destroyed by the Iraqi army. Iraq defended the ecological disaster again, such as the Kuwait oil fire in 1991 and the Persian Gulf oil spill. By occupying the country's coast, the coalition forces could invade Iraq's oil production more quickly. At the same time, British forces occupied Iraq's only deep-water port at Umm Qasr, cleared the mines and brought in military supplies. All of Iraq's southern oil fields were concentrated on the Al-Faw peninsula, and 90% of Iraq's oil was exported from the Al-Faw coast.

    After just two weeks, British forces captured Iraq's second largest city, Basra, and occupied Saddam's palace there. In the land war in Iraq, many coalition forces encountered fierce opposition from the Iraqi army. By April 9, 2003, the US army had invaded Baghdad, and the Saddam Hussein regime had effectively come to an end. On May 1, US President George W. Bush gave a speech in which he declared the end of the Iraq War, saying, “The war in Iraq has been won, and the war on terror, which began on September 11, 2001, has been won.”

 

The bodies of emaciated Jews who are thought to have died of starvation on the streets of the Warsaw Ghetto in Poland between 1941 and 1942 were collected and recovered in carts.

    In the streets of Warsaw, Poland, emaciated bodies thought to have died of starvation between 1941 and 1942 were collected and recovered in carts. The bodies of the starving victims of the Warsaw Ghetto were photographed in front of their homes in the Ghetto. The pitiful victims of the Warsaw Ghetto, who had died of the atrocities, were lying lifeless, rudely transported in crude hearse-like carts, waiting to be buried.

    After the invasion of Poland on September 1st 1939, 3 million Jews came under Nazi control. In accordance with their anti-Semitic beliefs, they wanted to remove the Jews from the newly acquired land. The Nazis segregated the Jews from the rest of the population and developed ghettos to forcibly house them. Overcrowding, combined with a lack of clean water supplies and proper sewage systems, led to poor hygiene and the spread of disease. The Warsaw Ghetto was established on October 12, 1940, one year after Germany invaded Poland in September 1939.Approximately 375,000 Jews from Warsaw were forced to leave their homes and move to the ghetto, a small area covering 3.4 square kilometers. From July to September 1942, more than 260,000 people, over half the population of the ghetto, were deported to Treblinka, where the majority were killed. The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising began on April 19, 1945, but by May 16, 1943, the German army suppressed the uprising. The surviving ghetto residents were deported to concentration camps and extermination centers.

   On September 21, 1939, Reinhard Heydrich ordered the Einsatzgruppen, mobile killing units, to concentrate the Jews of Poland in large towns and cities near railway lines. A Jewish Council of Elders was set up to administer the newly uprooted Jewish communities. The Jewish Council was controlled by the SS and had to comply with their demands.

    Measures were taken to concentrate the Jews in towns and cities, and the problems of the Jews arriving were left to the local authorities and the Jewish Councils set up in each town. The first ghetto was opened in Piotrkow on October 8th 1939. The first large ghetto was then established in Radomsko on December 20th 1939, and in Łódź in February 1940. Over the next two years, hundreds of ghettos were set up across Poland.

At Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, Palestinians mourned while wailing beside the bodies of Palestinians killed in an Israeli air strike on November 20, 2024.

　 Palestinian officials mourned beside the bodies of Palestinians killed in an Israeli air strike on November 20th 2024 at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.

　In Al-Mawasi, a safe zone that has been repeatedly attacked by the Israeli military, seven people were killed in an Israeli attack on November 20, 2024. The Israeli attack included an attack in the western part of Khan Younis in southern Gaza, targeting Al-Mawasi, a safe zone that the Israeli military has repeatedly targeted. According to Al Jazeera, at least seven Palestinians were killed in the attack, including one girl.

　Al Jazeera reported that at least 88 Palestinians were killed in Israeli air strikes in the northern Gaza Strip in the early hours of November 21. The Gaza Health Ministry said on November 20 that at least 13 Palestinians were killed and 84 wounded in 24 hours of Israeli attacks.

　The Gaza Civil Defense Force was targeted by Israeli forces while rescue workers were in the middle of responding to an Israeli attack in Gaza City. When rescuers were pulling out martyrs and the injured from under the rubble of a bombed house in the Sabra district in southern Gaza City, Israeli occupation forces' warplanes directly bombed the Gaza District members. One member of the Gaza rescue team was killed, bringing the total number of members of the civil defense killed in Gaza by the Israeli army to 87.

The Israeli army is continuing its ethnic cleansing campaign, focusing on the three cities of Beit Lahia, Beit Hanoun and Jabalia in the north of Gaza. On November 20, at least five Palestinians were killed and 15 injured in an Israeli army attack in Beit Lahia. At the Kamal Adwan hospital in Beit Lahia, there were 85 injured children and women, and six seriously injured patients in the intensive care unit. Since November 19, 17 children have died of malnutrition and an elderly man has died of severe dehydration. According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, the number of Palestinian casualties from the Israeli military attacks on November 20th rose to 43,985, with 104,092 wounded.

During the Gulf War, an Iraqi firing squad executed a Kuwaiti soldier suspected of looting in Kuwait. Immediately after the firing squad killed him, the Iraqi commander pistol-whipped him to death.

湾岸戦争にて、イラクの銃殺隊は、クウェートで略奪をはたらいた容疑のクウェート軍兵士を処刑した。銃殺直後に、イラク軍の隊長がピストルでとどめをさして殺害した。クウェート人が集められて処刑の様子を見守っていた。やがて、クウェートではイラク軍が公然と略奪が行なわ始めた。

  1990年8月2日夜明け前の闇の中で、約10万のイラク軍がクウェートとの国境を破りはじめた。その先立つ2週間にイラクとクウェート政府はサウジアラビアのジッダで会談を開き、両国の意見の相違を調整した。合意は得られず、イラクの代表は8月1日に会談を放棄した。イラク軍の集結からクウェート全土への攻撃が勃発した。

　クウェート市に入ったイラク軍は、 中央銀行と情報省が有る宮殿を最初に攻撃した。数少ないクウェート軍は、イラク軍に圧倒され追い払われた。首長と家族らは海軍の小型舟艇でサウジアラビアに南下した。イラク軍は国境を完全に閉鎖して制空権を握った。8月3日に、バグダッドのラジオで、サダム・フセイン大統領はクウェート侵攻により、クウェートをイラクの19番目の州として永久の占有をを宣言した。

　イラク軍侵攻した直後から、クェートで拷問や殺人が行なわれ、多くの逮捕者が出た。クウェート人は、外に連行されて、尋問された。逆らう者は殴られ、手足を切断され、強姦されて、多くが殺害された。イラクのクウェート拷問施設には、血のこぎり、斧、つるはし、肉鉤、電気ドリル、万力、電気式牛追い棒、爪をはがすペンチ、皮膚を削った鉋などが散乱した。イラク軍に占領された6ヵ月間に拷問を受け殺害されたクウェート人は数千人に昇った。イラク軍による野放しの悪行で、組織的かつ計画的にクウェートを略奪した。

　アメリカ軍を中心とする多国籍軍は、1991年1月17日に砂漠の嵐作戦により、クウェートを占領するイラク軍に対して、国際連合安全保障理事会決議678に基づく多国籍軍が軍事力を行使した。43日間の空爆と100時間の地上戦によって2月28日にイラク軍は敗走して湾岸戦争は停戦した。

On the Western Front of World War I, in October 1917, the doomed female spy Mata Hari was gunned down in the Paris suburb of Bois de Vincennes, facing a French firing squad.

   In October 1917, the doomed female spy Mata Hari was gunned down in the Paris suburb of Bois de Vincennes, facing a French firing squad. The symbol of the charming female spy who forever captivated men, she was a double agent and a clumsy Dutch spy who lost her life.

    From the end of 1914, the British intelligence network on the Western Front of World War I was in disarray, and the spy network was rebuilt with Holland as a base. The Dutch slipped across the border into German-occupied Belgium unnoticed. The German Wehrmacht Intelligence Service (ND) set up its main bureau of female spymasters in Antwerp, Belgium.

 　In October 1917, Mata Hari, a World War I Dutchwoman, was executed by firing squad in France. After months of trial, prosecutors won the trust and favor of the French military and politicians, who were willing to sell secrets to the enemy, Germany, for Mata Hari, a shameful beauty with no moral compass. The French eliminated Mari Hari, one of their most dangerous and capable spies.

    She was actually a Dutch woman named Heertroyda Zele, who had spent six years with her estranged husband on the island of Java in present-day Indonesia, earning the stage name Mata Hari, and who moved to Paris in 1905 with her daughter, where she charmed with her sensual dancing and her service to men with discernment.

    In her unhappy and dirty life, she loved her own daughter, her young Russian mistress, and her naturalized homeland, France. A Dutchman from a neutral country, the French General Staff could not trust her, and in early 1916 she got herself hired by the Cologne director of the ND. He sent her to Dusseldorf ND. She became Agent H21 and was sent to Antwerp ND for intensive training. During World War I she was sent to Madrid, the capital of Spain.

　Inexperienced and inexperienced, she set foot in Spain, a hotbed of intrigue. She conquered the heart of a German military officer in Madrid, but he saw right through her gimmicks from the start. He sent an open letter to Berlin. It passed through the hands of the French censor and came to the attention of the security police. In Paris, she got off the train from Madrid and was arrested by the French secret police. As a double agent, her contributions were ignored by the French, and on July 24, 1917, she was tried and sentenced to death for espionage.

On November 24th 1943, the day after the Battle of Tarawa in the Pacific War ended, almost all of the Japanese soldiers had already been wiped out. The trenches on Betio Island were lined with the bodies of many Japanese soldiers.

    On November 24th 1943, the day after the Battle of Tarawa in the Pacific War ended, almost all of the Japanese soldiers had already been wiped out. The trenches on Betio Island were lined with the bodies of many Japanese soldiers. On November 23, when Betio Island was secured, the Japanese army was wiped out after fighting fiercely in four banzai charges and other attacks. On November 23, Betio Island was declared safe.

   A large force of about 35,000 men from the US Army's 2nd Marine Division and other units landed on Betio Island in the Tarawa Atoll on November 20, 1943. Due to the heavy casualties suffered by the 2nd Marine Division, the amphibious operation was reviewed. Landing craft were abandoned on the reef surrounding Betio, and the marines walked several hundred meters to the shore under heavy Japanese fire. Once on the shore, the marines secured a small beachhead by breaching the seawall. When the American Marines landed on Red Beach on Betio Island, they encountered fierce opposition from the Japanese.

  The Americans took Green Beach on November 21. The Americans invaded the island by pushing inland from the central airstrip, and secured the beach. The Marines achieved their greatest victory on the western Green Beach, and the Marines were able to quickly secure the beachhead thanks to naval bombardment.

   On November 22, as the Marines advanced eastward in Sherman tanks, Japanese machine-gun nests blocked the advance. On November 22, continuous American pressure from the north and west had pushed most of the remaining Japanese defenders into a small area east of the central runway. On the night of November 22, the Japanese gathered for a banzai charge against the American Marines.

    This was followed by a fourth Japanese banzai charge. On Red Beach, the Japanese fought fiercely on November 23, when the island of Betio was secured. By the morning of November 23, the remaining Japanese resistance on Betio Island was pushed into a small position on the eastern side of the island. By early afternoon on November 23, the American position reached the eastern tip of Betio Island. Betio Island was declared secure. Isolated groups of Japanese soldiers continued to appear for several weeks after the Battle of Tarawa. With the exception of 147 prisoners of war (most of whom were Korean laborers), the Japanese garrison of 4,690 was wiped out. Of the 1,021 American soldiers killed in the Battle of Tarawa, approximately 350 are still missing.

In the Battle of Saipan in June 1944, the bodies of several Japanese soldiers lay on the road leading to the torii gate of the Chalan Kanoa shrine on Saipan Island, and two American marines stood under the torii gate looking down on them.

     During the Battle of Saipan, in June 1944, the bodies of several Japanese soldiers lay on the road leading to the torii gate of the Chalan Kanoa shrine on Saipan Island. Two American marines stood under the shrine's torii gate and looked down on them. The Japanese soldiers who had died in battle lay in the machine gun emplacement in front of the shrine, and their bodies were scattered about.

     At 8:40 a.m. on June 15th 1944, the American army carried out the Saipan landing operation. The Amphibious Corps landed on the southwest beach of Saipan, and the 2nd Marine Division landed on the Red and Green beaches of Chalan Kanoa. The 4th Marine Division landed on the Blue and Yellow beaches to the south of the town. The beaches on Saipan Island had been fortified by the Japanese with trenches and a few pillboxes. The American forces came under heavy fire from the Japanese artillery, as well as from mortar and machine gun fire. By the end of June 15th, the American Marines had established a beachhead along the beach on Saipan Island. As night fell, the Japanese launched a series of nighttime attacks, but all were repelled by the American forces.

     The two Marine divisions that invaded Saipan's interior on the following day, June 16, spent most of the day consolidating their beachheads. The 2nd Marine Division filled the gap between the two divisions north of Chalan Kanoa. The 4th Marine Division swept around Aginán Point on the southwest side of Saipan. At night, the Japanese launched a nighttime attack on the beachhead just north of Chalan Kanoa. The Japanese attack was repelled by American artillery fire.

On June 15, 1944, during the Pacific War of World War II (1939-1945), the US Marines stormed the beaches of the strategically important Japanese island of Saipan. The aim was to gain an important air base from which the US military could launch direct air raids on the Japanese mainland using the new B-29 long-range bombers. Faced with fierce resistance from the Japanese army, the US military landed from landing craft to establish a beachhead, and then fought inland with the Japanese soldiers, gradually forcing them to retreat north. The fighting around Mount Tapochau, the highest peak on Saipan, was particularly prolonged and resulted in heavy casualties. The Marines gave the area the symbolic names “Death Valley” and “Purple Heart Ridge” depending on the state of the battle. The Americans finally drove the Japanese to the northern part of Saipan. Shortly after, a large-scale, futile banzai charge by Japanese soldiers broke out. On July 9th 1944, the American flag was raised in victory over Saipan.

In Odessa, Ukraine, Ukrainian soldiers and residents paid their final respects to their fallen comrades who died in battle along the Dnieper River in December 2023. They lamented that their mission on the Dnieper River was suicidal.

  In Odessa, Ukraine, Ukrainian soldiers and Ukrainian residents paid their last respects to their comrades who had died in battle on December 18, 2023, along the Dnieper River. Ukrainian soldiers lamented their mission on the Dnieper River as suicidal.

   The Ukrainian military commanders had nothing but positive things to say about the war with the Russian military. Gradually, the Ukrainian soldiers became fed up. Some of them broke their silence and exposed the attack on the dangerous crossing of the Dnieper River as cruel and senseless. On the eastern bank of the Dnieper, Maxim says, he was shot in the water at night and his comrades died before his eyes. The Ukrainian army continued its attack to cross the Dnieper in the Chernigov region of southern Ukraine for two months in an attempt to recapture territory from the Russians. The Ukrainian soldiers who took part were brutally and pointlessly killed on the banks and in the water before they could reach the other side.

    There was nowhere to dig in the mud puddles, and they crossed the boggy grassland of bomb craters filled with mud and water. The Ukrainian soldiers suffered many casualties, and their superiors were concerned about their optimistic reports on the progress of the attack. The Ukrainian army occupied the only houses in the village of Krinuki on the eastern bank, 32km upstream from Chernson. Russian air raids destroyed houses and turned the banks into a quagmire. Some of the bodies of Ukrainian soldiers were left for two months because of heavy shelling, and they could not be recovered. The Ukrainian counteroffensive stalled, and even the United States and the European Union were reluctant to provide assistance.

    Ukrainian government officials sent optimistic messages to the world in order to maintain morale and support.The number of casualties was not disclosed, and the extent of the losses was unclear. The Ukrainian army falsely claimed that they had established a foothold on the eastern bank of the Dnieper River. It was not even a battle to survive, but a suicide mission. The lack of preparation and deteriorating logistics of the Ukrainian army resulted in the annihilation of a battalion. The wounded were left behind, and morale declined due to the brutal conditions of the battle.

Warning: In Odesa in early December, 2023, Ukrainian soldiers said a final farewell to Denys, who died in battle on the Dnieper River. (Mauricio Lima/Ritzau Scanpix)

Fose Carbo Sotelo, the leader of the monarchist movement in Spain, was assassinated by the Assault Guards on July 13th 1936. At dawn on July 14th, a detachment of the Assault Guards took the body to the morgue in the East Cemetery.

 　　Fosé Carbó Sotelo, the leader of the monarchist movement in Spain, was assassinated by the Assault Guards on July 13th 1936. Sotelo was assassinated in his home, and at dawn on July 14th, a detachment of the Assault Guards transported his body to the morgue at the Eastern Cemetery. Sotelo's body was examined at the morgue at the Cimetière de Reste. Following Sotelo's assassination, the Spanish government closed the headquarters of monarchists and Carlists, and also ordered the closure of the Maison des Anarchistes. On July 14th, at Sotelo's funeral in the Eastern Cemetery, Sotelo's body was buried by fascists.

　　Miguel Primo de Rivera became a military dictator in Spain in 1923 following a coup d'état. In 1925, he appointed Calvo Sotelo as Minister of Finance. When Rivera was removed from power, Calvo Sotelo went into exile in France from Portugal in 1931. Calvo Sotelo returned to Spain after being granted a pardon in 1934. He soon became one of the most important right-wing politicians in Spain. Influenced by the growth of fascism in Germany and Italy, Carbo Sotelo proposed a totalitarian answer to the problems facing Spain.

　　On July 12th 1936, José Castillo, a member of the Social Party and a member of the Assault Guard, was assassinated by the Falangist Legion in the capital city of Madrid. On July 13th, Castillo's Legion avenged his death by assassinating José Carbo Sotelo. As a result of the assassination, an army led by Emilio Mola, Francisco Franco and José Sanjúrjo staged a military uprising on July 17th, and the Spanish Civil War broke out. The rebellion by a part of the army began on July 17, 1936, with the African troops in Melilla. On July 18, 1936, General Francisco Franco was appointed supreme commander of the African troops.

During the Vietnam War, on February 24th 1966, the Viet Cong launched a surprise attack on the American 1st Cavalry Division's position near Tan Binh, and the bodies of the Viet Cong soldiers who were killed in the battle were dragged away by American armored personnel carriers, leaving them covered in mud.

　　On February 24th 1966, during the Vietnam War, the Viet Cong of the South Vietnamese Liberation Front launched a surprise attack on the American 1st Cavalry Division's position near Tan Binh. The bodies of the Viet Cong soldiers killed in the battle were dragged away by an American armored personnel carrier, leaving them covered in mud. These were the bodies of the remaining Viet Cong soldiers on the battlefield at Tan Binh, 56km northwest of Saigon, the capital of South Vietnam. The American soldiers boarded the armored personnel carrier without a care in the world, and carried out their mission while looking down on the bodies with a nonchalant air.As a “death covered in mud”, Koichi Sawada took a photo of a corpse being dragged behind an armored personnel carrier, and it won first place in the news photography category at the 10th World Press Photo Exhibition.

　　After the Battle of Suoi Bon Chan in Tan Binh, a Viet Cong soldier's corpse was dragged behind an American armored vehicle to the burial site. American and Australian forces fought against the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army on the nights of February 23 and 24, 1966. The battle broke out in the vicinity of Tan Binh, which is located 30km northwest of Bien Hoa Air Base. It occurred during Operation Rolling Stone, a large-scale American military security operation to protect engineers building a strategic road. On the morning of February 24, the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army suffered heavy casualties, with around 500 people killed. The American military suffered 11 casualties, and the Australian military suffered 74 casualties.

　　In 1966, as the Vietnam War intensified, the Allied forces continued to fight the Vietcong in an attempt to secure a foothold in South Vietnam. The Vietcong and North Vietnamese forces were driven back by the Australian and American forces. The bodies of dead Vietcong soldiers were tied to the back of American armored personnel carriers and dragged behind the tanks, perhaps out of spite or to show off their victory. The Vietnam War was the only war in which a third party, not a party to the war, was able to report the facts of the war. President John F. Kennedy made the purpose and intentions of the war known to the world. 

Florence Farmborough, a military nurse in the Russian army, documented her experiences with the Russian Red Cross in Galicia, a border region between Ukraine and Poland, through photographs. She photographed the tragic consequences of war, including corpses lying on the battlefield.

　　Florence Farmborough, a nurse in the Russian army, documented her experiences with the Russian Red Cross in Galicia, a border region between Ukraine and Poland, through photographs. Farmborough photographed the tragic consequences of war, including corpses lying on the battlefield. She photographed the rarely seen battlefields of the Eastern Front before fleeing the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. British news organizations avoided explicit images of the First and Second World Wars.

　　When World War I broke out in 1914, Florence Farmborough, who had become a Red Cross nurse, enlisted in the Imperial Russian Army. She served on the Galician and Romanian fronts. While she was a nurse, Farmborough kept a diary and carried a plate camera with her. While camping with the army, she developed the plates and printed the photographs. [

　　Farmborough witnessed an explosion on the Eastern Front of World War I on May 28th 1916. More than a dozen Russian soldiers were killed in the blast, and others crawled out of their trenches but soon collapsed and died. Only two Russian soldiers were standing and were taken away. The clothes of the two naked red figures who had walked over were burnt. A large barn was converted into a changing room. The two men stood side by side there. They were immediately ordered to be injected. As the skin's blood vessels could not be found, the needle was directly inserted into the flesh. The two men were laid down on the straw in the adjacent hut. In one to two hours, the cotton wool was completely saturated. In order to relieve the suffering of the two soldiers, the morphine injections were repeated many times. Both men died by morning. Neither of them spoke a word.

　　Farmborough accompanied the Russian army into Poland on July 31st 1916. Passing through many battlefields, the dead lay in strange and unnatural positions, crouching, doubled up, stretched out, prone, lying down, Austrian and Russian soldiers lying side by side, lying down in strange and unnatural positions, lying down in strange and unnatural positions, lying down in strange and unnatural positions, lying down in strange and unnatural positions, lying down in strange and unnatural positions, lying down in strange and unnatural positions, lying down in strange and unnatural positions, lying down in strange and unnatural positions, lying down in strange and unnatural positions, lying down in strange and unnatural positions, lying down in strange and unnatural positions, lying down in strange and unnatural positions, lying down in strange and unnatural positions, lying down in strange and unnatural positions, lying down in strange and unnatural positions, lying down in strange and unnatural positions, lying down in strange and unnatural positions, lying down in strange and unnatural positions, lying down in strange and unnatural positions, lying down in strange and unnatural positions, lying down in strange and unnatural positions, lying down in strange and unnatural positions, lying down in strange and unnatural On the blackened earth, the mangled and crushed bodies of the dead lay. An Austrian soldier with a missing leg and a blackened and swollen face, a Russian soldier with a smashed face and a hideous appearance, a Russian soldier leaning against the barbed wire with his legs doubled up, flies crawling over the multiple open wounds, and other moving threads. These young, strong, energetic men had lost their vitality and lay motionless. How fragile and fleeting human life is. When a bullet pierces living flesh, life ends.

In 1995, the French military intervened in the Comoros Islands in Africa in order to defeat the Robert Denard mercenary group and reinstate the government of Mohamed Djoir. There were no casualties on the French side, and four people died and nine were injured on the ROKOMO side.

    In 1995, the French military intervened in the Comoros Islands in Africa in order to defeat the Robert Denard mercenary group and reinstate the government of Mohamed Djoir. The Comoros is an archipelago nation made up of three islands in southeastern Africa. There were no casualties on the French side, and four people died and nine were injured on the Comoros side.

     On September 28, 1995, Denar and his mercenaries staged a coup in the Comoros. Denar once again led a group of supporters to defeat the Comoros military, overthrowing Johar and installing Taki as president. Former President Ahmed Abdallah was involved. Immediately, the French government denounced Denar's mercenaries. Denar immediately formed a security force. With the defense agreement with the Comoros (1978) as a backdrop, the French government ordered the special forces to recapture the L'Comoro Islands. From September 28 to October 3, 1995, France dispatched 400 French marines and 200 special forces.

  On October 3, the French police force landed on Comoro. They immediately invaded the mercenary and security forces in Lokomo. Denar surrendered on October 4th. On October 5th, they overpowered the Lokomo mercenary group, arrested Denar, and deported him to a French prison. They reinstated Johar. More than 20 coups occurred in Comoros.

Even after the burns he suffered from the atomic bombing of Hiroshima had healed, Jinpei Terahama still had scars on his body as of April 15th 1947, when he was treated at Hiroshima Red Cross Hospital.

On December 27, 2023, Israel carried out an air strike on the Gaza Strip in Palestine, and the following day, a Palestinian man transported the corpse of a baby from the rubble of Jabalia refugee camp in the Gaza Strip.

　 An Israeli air strike took place in the Gaza Strip in Palestine on December 27, 2023. The following day, on December 28, a Palestinian man carried the dead body of a baby, which had been pulled out of the rubble of Jabalia refugee camp in the Gaza Strip, while grieving.

    Jabalia refugee camp is the largest refugee camp in Palestinian territory, with a population of over 100,000. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) began bombing Jabalia refugee camp in the northeast of the Gaza Strip on October 9th 2023, targeting it as a base for Hamas and other militant groups. In the Jabalia refugee camp in the densely populated Gaza Strip, more than 60 people were killed in an air strike on October 31, and much of the market was destroyed. In an air strike on October 10, 45 people were killed and part of the apartment block was destroyed. On May 31, 2024, the Israel Defense Forces withdrew from Jabalia. The Palestinian Authority said that 70% of the refugee camp had been destroyed. The Israeli army announced that it had recovered the bodies of seven Israeli hostages.

   On December 3, 2023, an Israeli air strike hit the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza. Palestinian children searched for their fathers under the rubble. The Israeli Defense Forces also bombed the same Jabalia camp on December 2, and dozens of people are feared to have died. Dozens of people died in an air strike on the northern Jabalia refugee camp on December 8. At least 90 people were killed in an air strike on the camp by the Israeli military on December 15.

     As fighting continued across the Palestinian territories, at least 110 people were killed in the Jabalia area of northern Gaza on December 19, 2023, in an Israeli air strike, according to the Hamas-run Ministry of Health.Three houses in the Jabalia refugee camp were hit by an airstrike, killing 50 people and leaving dozens more trapped under the rubble. On December 20, 46 people were killed in an Israeli attack. A total of 30 people were killed on December 22.

　

In 1936, the bodies of two Ethiopian men were scattered on the streets of Addis Ababa under Italian occupation. Their ankles were tied with rope and they were dragged along the streets.

    In 1936, the bodies of two Ethiopian men lay scattered in the streets of Addis Ababa under Italian occupation. Their ankles were tied with rope and they had been dragged along the road. The Second Italo-Ethiopian War was an Italian invasion of Ethiopia that took place from October 1935 to February 1937. It symbolized the expansionist policies that characterized the Axis powers and the impotence of the League of Nations before the outbreak of World War II.

   On October 3, 1935, 200,000 Italian soldiers attacked from Eritrea without a declaration of war. Small units attacked from Italian Somalia. On October 6, the symbol, Adwa, was conquered. On October 15, the Italian army occupied Axum.

    After that, the Italian army, which was lagging behind, was replaced with a new invasion force by Italian Prime Minister Benito Mussolini. The poor Ethiopian army counterattacked in December 1935. The Italian army imposed a narrow fence on a detachment of the Ethiopian army. Nazi Germany sent weapons and military supplies to the Italian army. The war dragged on, and it drained the resources of the Italian army. Italy became increasingly dependent on Germany for military support.

   The Ethiopian counteroffensive in December 1935 gave the Italian army the advantage of modern weapons. The Italian army resumed its offensive in early March 1936. On March 29, 1936, they bombed Harar, and two days later, the Italian army won a crushing victory in the Battle of Maychuu. Emperor Haile Selassie went into exile on May 2. The Italian army invaded the capital Addis Ababa on May 5. Italy announced the annexation of Ethiopian territory on May 7. Fighting between the Italian and Ethiopian armies continued until February 19, 1937. On the same day, the attempted assassination of Graziani was followed by the Yekatit 12 massacre in Addis Ababa, in which between 1,400 and 30,000 Ethiopian civilians were massacred. The Italian army suppressed the rebels until 1939.

   The Italian army bombed the Ethiopians with mustard gas. Attacks on the Red Cross were reported. As a result of the Italian invasion, hundreds of thousands of Ethiopian civilians died. War crimes against the Ethiopian army included the use of dum-dum bullets, the killing of civilian workers, and the mutilation of prisoners.

In El Salvador, in 1990, a clearly murderous unit from the Salvadoran government army shot two young men in the head, executing them extrajudicially, and their bodies fell onto the street.

 　In El Salvador, in 1990, a clearly murderous unit from the Salvadoran government's armed forces carried out an extrajudicial execution of two young men. The two young men were shot in the head and bled to death, and their bodies fell onto the road.

　  Extrajudicial execution is the murder of a person by authority that is carried out without being subjected to trial procedures. Even if it follows legal procedures, the state does not have the right to take a person's life. There are countries that consider the death penalty to be inhumane and an unforgivable punishment, and they oppose the death penalty for murder carried out in accordance with legal procedures. They also oppose murder carried out for political motives that do not follow legal procedures. Extrajudicial executions do not necessarily involve “prisoners”. Firing at demonstrators is murder carried out by those in power.

    Unexpected killings in the course of achieving combat objectives during war, or civilians being caught up in air raids and killed. Acts with the clear intention of killing individuals do not envisage large-scale war. It is difficult to prove the intention to kill specific individuals on the actual battlefield. The killing of non-combatants also constitutes “extrajudicial execution”, and indiscriminate bombing has also killed non-combatants. Under military rule, many commanders on the ground were given the authority to execute people without following the law. “Extrajudicial execution” refers to the killing of people for political motives without following judicial procedures such as trials.

   The Salvadoran Civil War was a 12-year civil war that took place in El Salvador from October 1979 to January 1992. It was fought between the government of El Salvador, which was supported by the United States, and the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN). The FMLN was a coalition of left-wing guerrilla groups supported by the Cuban government of Fidel Castro and the Soviet Union. The civil war began when the El Salvadoran government killed anti-coup protesters following a coup on October 15th 1979. The war was not officially over until after the collapse of the Soviet Union. On January 16, 1992, the Chapultepec Peace Accords were signed in Mexico City. The United Nations (UN) reported that more than 75,000 people were killed and around 8,000 went missing between 1979 and 1992 as a result of the civil war. Human rights violations, particularly the kidnapping, torture and murder of suspected FMLN sympathizers by state security forces and paramilitary death squads, were widespread.

The self-immolator, who set fire to his own body, shouted slogans at the site of the self-immolation, calling for freedom in Tibet and the return of the Dalai Lama to Tibet.

　　The self-immolator, who set fire to his own body, shouted slogans at the site of the self-immolation, calling for freedom in Tibet and the return of the Dalai Lama to Tibet. He left a suicide note and a video. The self-immolation was a protest against the Chinese government's repressive policies. The Tibetan people's identity and language are being threatened, and he also left a message calling for the return of the Dalai Lama to Tibet.

　　On March 16th 2011, 21-year-old monk Puntsok from Kirti Monastery set himself on fire in Tibet. In the short time before his life ended, he left a message for the 6 million Tibetans, urging them to unite as one and work together to resolve the Tibetan issue.

　　On June 20th 2012, a video was taken of Tenzin Kedap and Ngawang Norphel (22) setting themselves on fire in protest in Yushul Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province. The Tibetan people have no freedom of language, and Chinese is mixed in with the Tibetan language. I want to use my inheritance freely. The self-immolation protest is for Tibet, and we need freedom, cultural traditions and language.

　　From 1950 to 1960, Tibet was invaded by the Chinese Communist Party. From 1960 to 1970, the Chinese Communist Party deprived the Tibetan government of its political power and took over the government. From 1970 ~1980, the Chinese Communist Party's Cultural Revolution led to the collapse of Tibetan beliefs and culture. In 1980~1990, Han Chinese immigrants from China took the jobs of Tibetans.

　　In the 1960s, Tibetan leaders protested against the rule of the Chinese Communist Party. The 10th Panchen Lama sent a 70,000-character petition to the Chinese government leaders. He criticized the Chinese government's cultural genocide of Tibet. Mao Zedong called the 10th Panchen Lama “an enemy of our class” and denounced the petition as a “poisoned arrow.” As a result of the scathing criticism, the 10th Panchen Lama was beaten and placed in solitary confinement. After Mao Zedong's death, the 10th Panchen Lama was released. In 1989, the 10th Panchen Lama was mysteriously killed a few days after making a statement protesting Tibet under Chinese rule.

　　Due to historical processes, many young Tibetans have been driven to self-immolation protests. Every day, the Tibetan people were angered by the Chinese government's suppression of Tibetan Buddhist civilization, language and identity, and its intervention in Tibetan Buddhism. The Chinese government condemned the Dalai Lama, the leader of Tibetan Buddhism, and criticized monks and nuns.

　　Chinese immigrants poured into Tibet, taking away the jobs, land and future of the Tibetan people. Tibetan towns were being Chineseized. The Tibetans felt wary and fearful, and the nomads had their livestock stolen and were driven from the grasslands. The nomads lost their income and suffered poverty. Large-scale development also did not benefit the Tibetans. Natural resources were plundered and taken to eastern China. Tibet's Chinese-ization progressed, and they became second-class citizens on their ancestral land. There were no protests from the world, and the majority of people pretended not to see it.

On January 31, 1968, during the Tet Offensive in Saigon, the capital of Vietnam, a Vietcong soldier was killed on the grounds of the American Embassy.

ベトナム戦争にて1968年1月31日に、ベトナムの首都サイゴンにおけるテト攻勢の最中に、アメリカ大使館の敷地内で、ベトコン兵士が殺害された。アメリカ軍警察、記者、大使館員に囲まれて、アメリカ大使がベトコンの死体を見つめた。アメリカ軍の反撃で殺害されるまでの6時間に、19人のベトコンゲリラがサイゴンのアメリカ大使館を占拠した。 

　1968年1月31日早朝に、ベトナムの国民が旧正月であるテトを祝う中で、共産主義のベトコン部隊が南ベトナム全土で組織的な奇襲攻撃が勃発した。その日に、サイゴンのアメリカ大使館が標的となった。 ベトコン部隊は大使館の一部を制圧し、殺害または捕虜となるまでの約6時間、大使館を占拠した。大使館への攻撃は、アメリカが戦争に勝つと信じたアメリカ国民に衝撃をアメリカ国民の与えた。テト攻勢中に被ったアメリカ軍の死傷者の生々しい映像は、長い戦争に嫌気したアメリカ国民の反戦感情を煽った。ジョンソン大統領は、ベトナムで解決策を見いだず、1968年3月31日に、再選を目指さず、党の指名も受けないと発表した。1975年4月30日、サイゴンが北ベトナムに陥落し、最後のアメリカ人がベトナムを去るまで、ベトナムでは南北間の内線が続いた。

　1月31日午前2時47分、ベトコンが境界壁に小さな穴を開け、大使館敷地内に侵入し、大使館ビルに発砲した。20人のベトコン部隊が大使館の敷地を囲む壁を爆破し、中庭になだれ込んだ。午前9時00分までに、アメリカ軍は大使館の安全を宣言した。ベトコンは建物に入ることに失敗した。侵入した20人のベトコンは、18人が憲兵、海兵隊警備隊、民間警備隊員の発砲によって殺害され、敷地内には死体が散乱して、2人が捕虜になった。アメリカ海兵隊員1名とアメリカ陸軍憲兵隊員4名が、大使館防衛中に殺害されて命を落とした。

On October 4, 2022, during the Russo-Ukrainian War, the bodies of Russian soldiers who had retreated were abandoned on the streets of Lyman in the Donbas region of Ukraine.

　　On October 4th 2022, during the Russo-Ukrainian War, the bodies of Russian soldiers who had retreated were abandoned on the streets of Lyman in the Donbas region of Ukraine. They were still wearing their military uniforms and boots. Nearby, there was a pile of discarded Russian military uniforms, sleeping bags and ration packs. The Associated Press, which reported from Lyman, saw at least 18 more bodies of Russian soldiers that had not yet been removed. The Ukrainian military had apparently temporarily collected the bodies of Russian soldiers after the fierce fighting over control of the town of Lyman, but they did not immediately remove the bodies of the Russian soldiers.

　  On September 30, 2022, the Russian government unilaterally declared the annexation of four eastern Ukrainian provinces - Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts, as well as Zaporizhzhya and Kherson Oblasts. By October 2, the Russian military had withdrawn from the eastern strategic town of Lyman, which they had been using as a logistics and transport base, in order to avoid being surrounded by Ukrainian troops. The Russian army abandoned Ukraine's major cities at a rapid pace, leaving the bodies of their comrades in the streets. More evidence of the military defeat of the Russian army, which is struggling to cling on to the four regions of Ukraine that it illegally annexed last week, was presented on October 4th.

     In the eastern Ukrainian town of Lyman, which the Ukrainian army has recaptured from the Russian army, the deserted streets are strewn with rubble, and there are boarded-up buildings and charred buildings lining the streets. Metal sheets hanging from the broken roofs are being blown around by the wind. There are almost no residents out and about. The population before the war was around 20,000, but the number of dogs was almost the same as the number of people. Two young volunteers from a Ukrainian humanitarian aid organization were carefully and quietly numbering the bodies of the Russian soldiers and searching for anything that could be used to identify them. They placed the bodies of the Russian soldiers in black body bags and left the battlefield.

Warning: Bodies of Russian soldiers were abandoned by their troops after their retreat, on a street in Lyman, Donbas, Ukraine, on October 4, 2022. (ADRIEN VAUTIER / LE PICTORIUM POUR « LE MONDE »)
