In the Spanish Civil War, a mother grieves over the body of what she believes to be her murdered son on the streets of Castellón on August 8, 1938. After defeating the Republican forces on the Aragon front, the Nationalist army moved south and began the Valencia offensive in April 1938.

 　　During the Spanish Civil War (July 17, 1936-April 1, 1939), a mother grieves over the body of what she believes to be her murdered son on the streets of Castellón on August 8, 1938. There was a period of confusion before the Nationalist troops marched into Castellón de la Plana, the provincial capital of Castellón. Retreating Nationalist soldiers prematurely killed hundreds of people who tried to greet them, believing them to be liberators. The son of one of the victims was one of those killed.

　During the Spanish Civil War, the Nationalist forces that had defeated the Republican forces on the Aragon front moved south and attempted to capture Valencia from April to July 1938. in the Levante Offensive that broke out from April 25 to July 24, 1938, the Nationalist forces led by Francisco Franco attempted to capture Valencia, which was controlled by the Republican forces. The Nationalist army fought for several days. After several days of fighting, the Nationalist forces occupied the province of Castellón, north of Valencia, on June 13. The Nationalist offensive was frustrated by bad weather and the Republican Army's persistent resistance on the XYZ defense line. The Nationalist forces captured Castellón Province, but failed to capture Valencia, suffering heavy casualties. The Republican forces suffered 5,000 casualties while the Nationalist forces suffered approximately 20,000 casualties.

　The Argon offensive by the Nationalist forces began on March 7, 1938 and ended on April 19. The Aragon Offensive ended on April 15, 1938, when the Nationalist forces captured the town of Vinalos on the Mediterranean coast, bisecting Republican territory and isolating Catalonia from the central region. It was a fatal blow to the Republican army, which could no longer fully recover. The Argon offensive of the Nationalist army was accompanied by an intensive bombing campaign against the towns and cities of Valencia and Catalonia. Strategic objectives were achieved and civilians were terrorized.

On January 21, 2024, Ukrainian forces shelled the Russian-controlled territory of Donetsk in Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine. Autopsies were performed to identify the bodies of the victims killed in the shelling.

 　　On January 21, 2024, Russian authorities in Donetsk announced that Ukrainian forces had shelled the Russian-controlled territory of Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine. A Donetsk citizen performed an autopsy on the identity of the body of a victim killed in the shelling. Donetsk authorities announced that at least 28 people were killed and 30 wounded, including two children, in shelling of the Russian-occupied Donetsk market. The attack from Ukrainian forces struck the Donetsk city suburb of Tekstyrshik on January 21, 2024. The mayor of Donetsk, who is of Russian descent, said the shells were fired by Ukrainian forces. The Ukrainian troops hit a downtown area with stores and markets on the outskirts of Tekstyrshchik. People who had lost relatives wept, and bodies were scattered near the city's markets, lying in the snow.

　Ukrainian authorities in Kiev had no comment on the shelling. The shells that hit the Donetsk area were fired from the Krakow and Krasnohorivka areas to the west. Russian officials said they categorically condemn the treacherous attacks against civilians as terrorist attacks.In the nearly two-year-long Russo-Ukrainian war, in which frontline positions covering some 1,500 km have remained largely unchanged, both sides have increased their reliance on long-range attacks since the winter of 2024.

　UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said that international humanitarian law "strongly condemns all attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure, including the shelling of the Ukrainian city of Donetsk." Officials in Kiev said Russian forces fired about 500 or more drones and missiles into Ukraine between December 29 and January 2.

A child was born in April 1946 to a mother who became pregnant shortly before the bombing after the Hiroshima atomic bomb was dropped. The mother was exposed to the bomb 1.4 km from the hypocenter and received burns that formed keloids and was examined at the Hiroshima Hospital for Disaster Relief.

During the Irish Civil War, he was treated by the Free Irish Army Medical Corps for victims of the anti-Treaty attack at the Battle of Bully in the vicinity of Kilmallock on July 30, 1922.

    Victims of the Battle of Bully in the vicinity of Kilmallock on July 30, 1922, are treated by a Free Irish Army medical unit during the Irish Civil War, which began with the signing of the Anglo-Irish Treaty on December 6, 1921, and lasted from June 28, 1922, to May 24, 1923. Approximately more than 1,000 Irishmen lost their lives. The pro-treaty, Free State forces accepted the status of the British Dominion. The anti-treaty forces, the anti-treaty forces, saw the compromise as a betrayal.

　The Battle of Kilmallock, one of the largest battles in the Irish Civil War, broke out in County Limerick, Ireland, between July 25 and August 5, 1922. The battle unfolded over ten days of fighting in the surrounding countryside. As the Free State forces moved south from County Limerick, fighting in the villages of Bruff, Bully, and Patrickswell ended with the withdrawal of the Anti-Treaty forces and the capture of Kilmallock by the Free State forces.

　Initially the Anti-Treaty forces had the upper hand, but on July 23 the Free State forces occupied Bruff and began their advance to Kilmallock. Twice repulsed by the resistance of the Anti-Treaty forces, on July 24 the Anti-Treaty forces recaptured Bruch in a counterattack, taking 76 prisoners. In frustration, the Free State Army halted its advance and waited for reinforcements.

　The Free State forces recaptured Bruch soon after the reinforcements arrived. With the anti-Treaty forces' war situation worsening, the capture of the anti-Treaty strongholds was not progressing, and casualties were mounting. The Free State's Dublin Guards, supported by armored vehicles and field artillery, attacked the town of Bulley from the southeast. About 13 Free State soldiers and 9 Anti-Treaty soldiers were killed in action and many more wounded as the Free State forces secured Bulley.

　On August 2, the Anti-Treaty forces captured Patrickswell, south of Limerick. Armored cars ambushed the Free State forces and attacked Bully. An armored car attacked the Free State Army headquarters at the railroad hotel; a second armored car raided another garrison and persuaded the 25 anti-treaty troops inside to surrender.

　When reinforcements arrived for the armored vehicles and the Free State forces, the counterattack by the anti-treaty forces stalled. The Free State commander led the reinforcements and commanded his troops from an armored car. Unable to secure the surrender of Bully, the anti-treaty forces withdrew. The Irish Civil War was ultimately won by the Free State forces, who captured all city centers by late August 2023.

In June 1906, Jews were murdered in Bialystok, Poland, when a pogrom, a mass assault, broke out. Jews and others gathered around the bodies of the Jewish victims to mourn.

　　In June 1906, Jews were murdered in Bialystok, Poland, when a pogrom, a mass assault, broke out. Fellow Jews gathered around the bodies of the Jewish victims to mourn. The pogroms were outbreaks of mass violence directed against minority religious, ethnic, and social groups.

　The Belostok (Białystok) pogrom broke out on June 14-16, 1906, in Białystok, then part of the Russian Empire in Poland. At the pogrom, about 81-88 Jews were murdered by soldiers of the Imperial Russian Army, the Black Hundred, and the Chernoye Znamir, and about 80 were wounded.In the 1880s and 1890s, after the assassination of Russian Emperor Aleksandr II, a series of targeted pogroms of Russian Polish Jews mass massacres had broken out. Białystok became one of a series of assaults on Jews that occurred between 1903 and 1908, including pogroms in Kishinev, Odessa, and Kiev before and after.

　Anti-Semitic violence was bandied about as a collective assault during the Russian Revolution of 1905-1907. Identifying the Jews with the revolution, the organization of the Russian People's Union was later formally organized. Loyalist groups, dubbed the Black Hundred, attacked Jews and other groups of questionable loyalty, such as students and rural teachers. Hundreds of Jews were killed in counterrevolutionary riots in Odessa and Kiev. Both civilian and military authorities were widely accused of inaction and passivity in the pologram affair.

　Sporadic violence continued after the Russian Revolution. The cruelest was a pogrom in Białystok, Kingdom of Poland, on June 1 (June 13), 1906, in which more than 70 people were killed and self-defense by the Jews increased, organized by the revolutionary party of Bund, which was at odds with the authorities. The attribution of responsibility for the Pogrom incident was complicated. The Russian government, for its part, decided that the pogroms in Gomel and Bialystok were Jewish pogroms and an attack by Jews against Christians.

The Japanese positions at the foot of Guadalcanal Island were attacked by U.S. artillery fire. The bodies of Japanese soldiers killed in action were scattered around the Japanese positions. The Japanese response was slowed by the reinforcement of the Allied forces, resulting in increased losses.

　The Japanese positions at the foot of Guadalcanal Island were attacked by U.S. artillery fire. The bodies of Japanese soldiers killed in action were scattered around the Japanese positions. The Japanese response was slowed by the Allied buildup and losses mounted, and on August 7, 1942, U.S. forces made the first amphibious landing on Guadalcanal Island in World War II. Occupying Henderson Airfield, the Americans stopped the Japanese from cutting off supply routes, and after seven major naval battles, numerous clashes on land, and constant dogfights, the Americans occupied Guadalcanal Island on February 7, 1943, after six months of fighting.

　U.S. forces first landed on Guadalcanal Island in the Solomon Islands on the morning of August 7, 1942. U.S. Marines swept through Tulagi and Florida by August 9. On their way inland to secure airfields, they met no resistance from the Japanese. Shortly thereafter, Japanese naval aircraft attacked transports and convoys, and Japanese reinforcements arrived. The battle for control of Guadalcanal and its vital airfields and sea control lasted several months, with losses of men, ships, and aircraft on both sides.

　The battle for Guadalcanal was accompanied by difficult jungle terrain, bad weather, lack of infrastructure, starvation, and tropical diseases. Japanese soldiers fighting to the death were the first American troops to experience this in the Pacific theater of war. Japanese forces were assembled for a general offensive that began in October 1942. A furious Japanese offensive broke out against the U.S. forces, who had reinforced their defenses at Henderson Airfield. The Japanese began their attack on October 23, 1942, attacking several positions around the airfield over a four-day period. American losses were heavy, and Japanese losses were catastrophic.

　As fighting continued on Gadarkanal Island, the Japanese withdrew the last of their forces and surrendered Ganarkanal Island to the Allied forces on February 7, 1943. The Solomon Islands campaign cost the Allies approximately 7,100 men, 29 ships, and 615 aircraft. The Japanese lost 31,000 men, 38 ships, and 683 aircraft. Over the next two and a half years, the Americans gained more and more advantage as they took more and more Pacific islands from the Japanese. Each time the U.S. forces clashed with the Japanese death squads, they were forced to fight long and hard, and eventually the Japanese soldiers were crushed and defeated in the Pacific islands.

An American soldier, who was the pilot of an amphibious boat, was killed in action when a direct barrage of Japanese 90mm artillery fire hit him on the beach of Iwo Jima. His body was found on the beach of Iwo Jima on February 25, 1945.

 　　A direct bombardment group of Japanese 90mm shells was found dead on February 25, 1945, after an American soldier, who was the pilot of an amphibious ship, was killed in action after being hit on the beach of Iwo Jima. The amphibious ship supported the surface ship bombardment that accompanied the formation of the amphibious landing craft on Iwo Jima by amphibious ships.

　Beginning on February 19, 1945, U.S. Marines landed on the shores of Iwo Jima. From the bombardment from naval vessels just prior to the landing, the first wave of Marines landed on the beach on the southeast coast of Iwo Jima at 8:59 a.m. on February 19, D-Day, in amphibious boats. The U.S. landing force could easily have assaulted inland to Iwo Jima, and the Navy determined that the bombardment had suppressed the Japanese defenses. The Marines began to deploy in an orderly fashion on Iwo Jima's beaches. American troops spent the next hour accumulating men and machinery on the beach.

　Shortly after 10:00 a.m., Japanese machine guns, mortars, and heavy artillery suddenly stormed the crowded beach. At first the machine guns rang out violently, shattering American soldiers in the fury. Shells shot down with an earth-shattering boom, rock piles came under fire, and mines exploded in the soil beneath their feet. Blasts lifted, slammed, and tore, and the Marines crumpled and fell. After crossing the beach, the Marines were confronted with a slope of black volcanic ash about 4.6 meters high. The volcanic ash made it difficult to gain a foothold and defend against Japanese artillery fire.

　Marines wandered about, but the weight and volume of their equipment proved too much for them, so they discarded it and hid in the volcanic sand. Japanese heavy artillery from Mount Suribachi on Iwo Jima opened and closed their reinforced steel doors to fire. Japanese bunkers were connected by tunnels, and even when swept by flamethrowers and grenades, they were reoccupied by Japanese troops moving through the bunker tunnels. The Marines suddenly came under renewed fire from the Japanese in the bunkers.

On December 8, 1939, German troops Ansatzgruppen shot and mass executed residents of Botnia in southern Poland. German soldiers supervised the burial of the bodies after the executions by standing over the corpses.

　　Burial after the mass execution of the inhabitants of Bochnia, southern Poland, who were shot dead by the German Ansatzgruppen on December 8, 1939. The first mass executions of Poles in German-occupied Poland occurred in Bochnia, where a mobile execution unit known as the Ansatzgruppen carried out the initial stages of the Holocaust during the invasion of Poland in 1939. Their mission was to roam behind the front lines, shooting and killing as many Jews and residents as they could, an estimated 2 million. After the executions, the burial of the bodies was supervised by German soldiers standing among the corpses.

　Einsatzgruppen first occupied and operated in the annexed areas of Austria and Czechoslovakia, which they occupied in 1938. The Einsatzgruppen were special task forces of the SS that carried out mass killings of Jews, communists, and others to be exterminated by the Nazis; for the Polish campaign of 1939, six major Einsatzgruppen were organized, each of which was responsible for the mass murder of Jews and communists. The total strength of the Einsatzgruppen during the Polish campaign was approximately 2,700 men. Their role was the arrest of politically suspicious persons, confiscation of weapons, police intelligence, and executions against Jews; from September 1 to October 25, 1939, some 500 towns and villages were burned to the ground and more than 16,000 people were executed. More mass killings were carried out by the Einsatzgruppen, which was organized in the spring of 1941 for the campaign against Russia. Orders were issued for the Security Police and the Security Service to assist the army in fighting the resistance behind the front lines.  

  The common method of execution in the Einsatzgruppe was by firing squad, and gas vehicles were also used. Victims were ordered to report to a central location and were rounded up in organized manhunts, often using local militias. Usually they were taken to a remote location and shot to death. When shooting to kill, the Germans often used ravines, sand pits, quarries, and abandoned Russian anti-tank ditches. In the absence of facilities, the Germans had their victims dig their own graves. Most Einsatzgruppe were disbanded at the end of 1944. Einsatzgruppe D was an exception, disbanding in July 1943. In just a few short years, their deadly activities claimed more than 700,000 lives.

Searching through the rubble of the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Palestinian Gaza on November 1, the day after the Israeli military's October 31, 2023 airstrike, Palestinians retrieved the bodies and gave them a mass burial in the earth.

 　In the Israeli-Palestinian war, Palestinians retrieved corpses and gave them mass burials in the soil after searching through the rubble of the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza, Palestine, on November 1, the day after the October 31, 2023 air strike by the Israeli military. Palestinians and rescue workers searched the victims, some using their hands to scoop out the rubble.

　On October 27, 2023, Israeli forces began a ground operation against the Hamas militia, and on October 31, shelling collapsed in the center of the Jabalia refugee camp north of the enclave, like a vortex, literally swallowing everything from surrounding buildings and people. All was gray in Jabalia refugee camp, which was destroyed by powerful Israeli artillery fire on October 31, shattering lives and causing buildings to collapse into gray. A second shelling a few hours later, and at least six shellings so far, hit the Jabalia refugee camp. Many houses in the bombed area, suspected to have had underground tunnels, were completely destroyed when the impact cratered the ground after the attack, washing away the surrounding houses.

　According to the densely populated UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA), established shortly after the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, the Jabalia refugee camp was home to over 100,000 Palestinians, all dependent on humanitarian aid. In the chaos of dust and debris, men and women searched for bodies in the rubble. Few survivors were found; on November 2, the Gaza Ministry of Health announced that 195 people had been killed and 777 injured.

　The shelling of the Jabalia refugee camp in the Gaza Strip can be considered a war crime because of the number and scale of civilian casualties, the UN human rights office said. Earlier, the Hamas Health Ministry said that prior to the bombardment of Jabalia, at least 8,525 Palestinians had been killed by Israeli forces, 3,542 of them children. Urgent calls for a ceasefire by the UN and aid groups intensified, and the bombing continued despite a UN General Assembly resolution calling for a sustained humanitarian ceasefire by more than 100 countries.

Warning: Search operations continue one day after airstrike on Jabalia refugee camp by MOHAMMED SABER.

Atomic Bombing Casualities

In the late summer of 1916 during the Battle of the Somme in World War I, a German soldier's bombed body lies on his back in a trench in a German trench section of the Somme that was destroyed by a direct hit by British troops.

 In the late summer of 1916 during the Battle of the Somme in World War I, the bodies of German soldiers bombed to death lie on their backs in a trench in a German trench section of the Somme that had been destroyed by a direct British bombardment. The German soldiers were blown to pieces and turned into bloody lumps of flesh corpses. early in the morning of July 15, the British forces began bombarding again, launching a massive attack on the Bazentan ridge line north of the Somme. This attack caught the Germans by surprise, and the British invaded up to about 5.5 km of the German positions and captured the village of Longjuval.

　The Battle of the Somme broke out on July 1, 1916, with no decisive breakthrough on the first day. A war of attrition ensued over the next two months. The battle that followed was a series of relentless British attacks and equally relentless German counterattacks. After the initial attack by the British Fourth Army, British reserves occupied the northern half of the battlefield. The British Fourth Army occupied the Trones Forest, Mametz Forest, and Contalmaison between July 2 and July 13. It fought to encircle the flank of the German attack on the second main defensive position.

 　A dawn British attack on July 14 occupied up to 5.5 km of German positions. The Germans were swept away until the end of July, but in adjacent positions the Germans held on until August 27. The German positions were not occupied on the morning of July 14. The British missed the opportunity to occupy it, and it took another two months to capture the forest.

　 From July 23 to August 5, the Allied Australian division made heavy sacrifices by capturing the village of Pozieres, an alternate entry route to the rear of the German defenses. The British Fourth Army did not fall until early September to support the French as they fought their way toward Peronne and occupied German Guilmont and Ginchy By the end of July, some 160,000 Germans and more than 200,000 British and French troops had been killed or wounded in action. 1916 On November 18, 1916, British forces halted the British offensive near the Somme River in northwestern France, bringing the Battle of the Somme to a close after more than four months of bloody fighting. By the end, the British had suffered 419,654 casualties, the French 204,253, and the Germans between 450,000 and 600,000 casualties.

German soldiers killed in action lie along the rubble battlefield in the Pantano Mountains near Cassino on December 18, 1943. Bodies of German soldiers were left scattered in a valley of stone walls.

 　German soldiers killed in action lie along the rubble battlefield at Pantano Mountain near Cassino on December 18, 1943, during the Battle of Monte Cassino on the Italian front in World War II. The corpses of German soldiers were left scattered in a valley of stone walls. Among the dead German soldiers were those whose leather boots had been stripped off.

　The Battle of Monte Cassino was a series of four Allied attacks against positions held by German and Fascist Italian forces during the invasion of Italy. The Allied forces moved north through rugged terrain and harsh weather across hills littered with the dead of both armies; the Battle of Monte Pantano, fought in December 1943 above the clouds, was one of the most intense battles of the grueling Italian campaign.

　 January 17, 1944 marked the first day of the Battle of Monte Cassino. It was a major operation in which Allied forces broke through the Axis defenses in Italy and penetrated as far as Rome, bringing World War II to an end. Before Monte Cassino, the Allied forces first captured Monte Pantano, the anchor of the German winter defense line. The Germans heavily bombed Mount Pantano with mortars and artillery and bombed the area with fighter planes. Numerous Italian and German lines of defense severely hampered the Allied forces' northward advance toward the capital, Rome, and the four-month Battle of Monte Cassino was fiercely fought, inflicting heavy losses on the Allied forces.

　The name of the battle came from the 1400-year-old church of Monte Cassino, located in the center of the German defensive line. During the battle, the church was heavily damaged by American bombers. The attack on Monte Cassino lasted four battles, in January, February, and March, and finally fell on May 16, when Allied bombardment caused the Axis defense line to collapse. The final capture of Rome was accompanied by heavy casualties, with at least 125,000 to 185,000 casualties on all sides, both Allied and German-Italian.

At the Battle of the Marne, a French soldier was killed by a bomb in a pile of corpses. The bodies of the French soldiers lay in the mud, and next to them was a canteen that had become useless.

A bomb killed a French soldier during the Battle of the Marne, where British and French troops fought the Germans in September 1914. The French soldier's body lay in the mud with a useless water bottle next to it. On the Western Front of World War I, the Battle of the Marne left British and French troops and the Germans with a mountain of corpses. During the Battle of the Marne, bayonets and machine guns killed thousands of soldiers in the trenches, resulting in deaths. 

 　The unstoppable German advance caused panic in Paris, and on September 2 the French government fled to Bordeaux. The Francs moved their troops from the right to the left flank. British commanders retreated to the Channel to return home to heal the wounds of the British troops.

　On the other side of the front, German commander Moltke noticed from the small number of prisoners taken that the French had fled Operation Pincer. Moltke, a 67-year-old old German general, had difficulty keeping track of the battle situation because he was not on the front lines and gave orders from his commander's reports. He ordered the Germans to advance in a southeasterly direction and made a frontal attack toward Paris, although the encircling right flank was longer and the attack was weaker. The French forces decided to counterattack, with the goal of the German invasion force being Paris, and the two armies fought on the banks of the Marne.

　From September 5 to September 10, the French Fifth and Ninth Armies and the British Army halted the German advance. About 1,800 French cavalrymen crossed the Forest of Betz and intercepted the German First Army from behind. The French Third Army defended Verdun, but thousands of lives were lost.

  On the night of September 9, the Germans were suddenly ordered to retreat. Moltke received disastrous misinformation that some French troops had counterattacked. The French army watched the German retreat in amazement and frenzy. The Battle of the Marne saved the capital, Paris, and within a month, half a million French and British troops were killed, wounded, or captured. The Germans lost 300,000 men. The mobile defensive warfare was over, and it became a static defensive war in the dreaded trenches. Both armies sought to race to the sea to encircle the other's northern flank, culminating in the First Battle of Ypres. It led to a bloody four-year stalemate of trench warfare on the Western Front in World War I. 

After the Manchurian Incident (September 18, 1931) broke out in China on September 18, 1931, Chinese volunteer soldiers who were prisoners captured by the Japanese military were disemboweled and stabbed alive by Japanese soldiers.

      After the Manchurian Incident (September 18, 1931) broke out in China on September 18, 1931, Chinese volunteer soldiers who were prisoners captured by the Japanese army were disemboweled and stabbed alive by Japanese soldiers. In Manchuria, the Northeastern people and some members of the Northeastern Patriotic Army organized guerrillas of the Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army against the will of the Kuomintang government to resist the Japanese invasion.

　At the beginning of the Pacific War, Japanese troops constantly killed Chinese people. Japanese forces committed war crimes in China, killing countless Chinese and even causing the tragedy of the Nanjing Massacre.

   After 1941, the Japanese military began taking Chinese prisoners of war everywhere. As the number of Chinese POWs increased, Japanese POW camps grew in size. The Japanese Army managed the POW camps in a despicable manner. Through "prisoner by prisoner," the Japanese selected a cadre of prisoners of war from among the POWs to manage the camps. 

　The Japanese left the management of the POW camps to the POWs. The Japanese built a high wall around the camp and placed an electric fence on top of it. Inside the walls were trenches at least two deep and one wide, and at the corners of the walls and at key points were gun batteries and watchtowers at least three high, with Japanese soldiers standing guard day and night. Escape was impossible for Chinese POWs. Even removing the bodies of POW laborers from the concentration camps required an autopsy by a Japanese medical officer and gate guard. The Japanese treated POWs in the camps as prisoners of war in the most degrading and extreme manner.

　Japan deployed nearly 3 million troops to invade China, assuming it could exterminate the Chinese within three months. Under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party and the Kuomintang, the Chinese people united to wage a fierce war of resistance. Japanese offensives were thwarted, and the war reached a stalemate, with Japanese casualties mounting. Japan suffered heavy losses on all fronts. Direct Japanese casualties in World War II, excluding prisoners of war, escapees, and starvation, totaled at least 2.2 million. 38 million soldiers and civilians were deployed by China in the 14-year Sino-Japanese war, and at least 17 million people were killed or massacred. Many were unarmed civilians, helpless against Japanese forces.
