A Russian general in charge of forces fighting in southern Ukraine has been relieved of his duties after speaking out about the problems faced by his troops. The dismissal of Maj. Gen. Ivan Popov reveals new fissures in the Russian military command following an abortive mutiny by the mercenary group Wagner. Popov was the commander of the 58th army fighting in the Zaporizhzhia region, which is a focal point of Ukraine's counteroffensive. He said in an audio statement to his troops released Wednesday night that he was dismissed after the military leadership was angered by his frank talk about challenges faced by his forces.

The United Nations says the bodies of dozens of people allegedly killed by Sudanese paramilitary forces and an allied militia have been uncovered in a mass grave in West Darfur. The U.N. Human Rights Office said on Thursday that according to “credible information obtained by the agency,” the bodies of the 87 people were dumped in a grave near the Darfur city of Geinina. Some of the bodies were of people from the ethnic African Masalit tribe. Sudan has been rocked by violence since mid-April, when tensions between the country's military and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces erupted into open fighting. Darfur has been one of the epicenters of the 12-week conflict.
