Ukrainian Surgeon Bravely Treats Soldiers Amidst Russian Conflict

Petro Nikitin, the lead trauma surgeon at a military hospital in Kyiv, Ukraine, operates on soldiers all day long amid Russia's war. The hospital is short-staffed because physicians were pulled away to work in field hospitals closer to the front. Nikitin has become familiar with a range of traumatic injuries, including explosive weapons such as landmines, artillery shells, and grenades. He tries to return these people to a normal life, but sometimes they are forced to amputate a soldier's arm or leg.

Chaos in Sudan as Ousted President Bashir Held at Military Hospital Amid Fighting and Prison Escape

Ousted Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir is being held at a military hospital in Khartoum after fighting between the army and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) broke out and engulfed the prison where he was being held.

Sudan's former president Omar al-Bashir, who was ousted by mass protests in 2019, is being held in a high-security military hospital along with around 30 other detainees, according to the country's army.

Questions arose over Bashir's whereabouts after a former minister in his government, Ahmed Haroun, announced on Tuesday that he had left the prison with other former officials.
