At least 50 sleeping soldiers killed in Mykolaiv due to Russian missile attack, toll could increase

This time the Russians targeted a military base in Mykolaiv. It was another missile attack and a part of a full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia. The calculations of Russian President Vladimir Putin appear to be off course. This is because of the defiance of the Ukrainians. There were 200 troops inside the barracks and the attack took place as they slept. The exact number of casualties yet to be ascertained but the authorities have recovered at least 50 bodies. A serviceman of Ukraine has indicated this to a media agency. Details are provided by Sky News.

It will take time to assess the full extent of losses. This is because the site was under the control of the military. Many more bodies could still be in the rubble. A media outlet from Belgium visited the scene of the missile attack. They tried to record the scenes of destruction. According to the media outlet, the Russians had launched at least two missiles. In the words of a soldier, probably someone wants to test his weapons. A war does provide opportunities to test out new weapons.

Brussels office of the European Union under threat of terrorists

The EU is under terrorism threat from Islamic terrorists as has been revealed by interrogation of a man and woman who were detained in Turkey on their way back from Syria theguardian.com. The duo was plotting an assault on the Berlaymont building, which houses the European commission and is the main office in Brussels of the European Union.
This is, incidentally, the second time in four months about possibility of attacks and is based on reports of the couple who were detained in Belgium where investigators were said to have proof of a planned attack.
The couple are supposed to be resident in The Hague in the Netherlands and of Turkish origin and they were said to have been arrested at Brussels airport after returning from Syria via a flight from Turkey. They may be charged with belonging to a terrorist organization, of breaking laws on possession of weapons, and of funding terrorism.
It seems nearly four-hundred Belgians have reportedly travelled to Syria to join the extremists – they usually go via Turkey and its long, porous border into the war zone. That figure is much lower than the estimates for Britain, France or Germany, but, Belgium is believed to have the highest number in Europe of would-be jihadists traveling to Syria.

Belgian rapist-murderer in jail for last 30-years granted euthanasia

Frank Van Den Bleeken is a Belgian man, now in his 50s, has been convicted of rape and murder and has been in prison for the last 30-years. But, since Belgium does not have any death penalty, the convict is being put to euthanasia nzherald.co.nz.
The authorities have granted his request for assisted suicide who admits that he is a menace to society and cannot live knowing that because he cannot control his sexual urges. This has been informed by his lawyer.
He had been found guilty of murder and rape in a number of cases, and he now wishes to die because he has no viable treatment options left.
Belgium's justice minister approved the transfer of the individual to a hospital for euthanasia after doctors agreed that his mental condition was incurable – he would thus become the first detainee in Belgium to be put to death for psychiatric reasons.
Belgium has agreed to euthanasia since 2002 for the terminally ill, however, the vast majority of cases involve physical illnesses.
Even though Belgium has one of the broadest euthanasia laws in the world, this decision is raising eyebrows because some feel this is proof of a failing justice and health system.
Incidentally, Euthanasia requests in Belgium have seen a rise soaring from 1,400 in 2012 to 1,800 last year. Most of those who opt for it suffer from cancer or psychological disorders apart from patients with Alzheimer's, Huntington's, dementia and psychosis.
