Russian troops demolished several bridges and probably laid mines as they withdrew from the city of Kherson in order to slow the advance of Ukrainian soldiers. This is what the British Ministry of Defense wrote Thursday in its daily intelligence bulletin.

 

Since March, Kherson was occupied by the Russian army, this city remains the only regional capital captured during the war in Ukraine. Russia announced on Wednesday that it was withdrawing its troops from the city as it is no longer possible to supply the city, they said. Russian supply routes have been put under pressure due to Ukrainian attacks, the British say. The British ministry believes the Russian army’s retreat will last several days.

The latter is taking up defensive positions and conducting attacks to protect its retreating troops. So far, Ukraine is reacting with suspicion to the announcement of the departure of Russian soldiers. President Volodymyr Zelensky warns that this could be a strategic move. “The enemy does not give us gifts, does not make a gesture of goodwill,” he warned Wednesday in his daily message to the Ukrainian people.

At least 25 people, including two children, died when a bus crashed into a ravine in the Andean region of Huancavelica, in southern Peru, the authorities announced in a revised death toll on Monday evening.
 
An initial police report put the death toll at 20, with a further 35 injured. A statement from the Ministry of Health later that morning put the death toll at 24. Finally, at the end of the day on Monday, the death toll stood at “25 dead and 34 wounded”, according to the Ministry of Defense.

In Japan, the number of people aged 100 has reached a record level: the world’s third-largest economy now has 92,139 people aged 100 or over. That’s 1,613 more than a year ago, reported the Ministry of Health in Tokyo on Friday.
 
For over half a century, the number of people aged 100 has been rising every year. Due to a low birth rate and almost non-existent immigration, no other industrial state is aging as fast as this East Asian country.
 
Japan’s population is also shrinking at a record pace. Last year, the number of Japanese fell by 801,000, the biggest drop since comparable data have been recorded. There are now 122.4 million.
  
When the Japanese Ministry of Health began compiling statistics in 1963, there were 153 centenarians. Twenty-five years later, there were over 10,000. According to the latest figures, around 88% of centenarians are women. Japan has the longest life expectancy in the world. Life expectancy for women is around 87 years, and 81 for men.
