21 July 2024

A UN outpost is being seen inside the buffer zone with the flags of Turkey and the self-declared ''Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus'' visible on the right, in Nicosia, Cyprus, on July 20, 2024. The Green Line (or buffer zone) is separating the island since 1963, as an initial measure to prevent hostilities between Greek-Cypriots and Turkish-Cypriots, but since the Turkish invasion in 1974, it is working as a de facto border between the Republic of Cyprus and the self-declared ''Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus,'' which only Turkey is recognizing as a legitimate state.

A Turkish army outpost is seen behind the buffer zone in Nicosia, Cyprus, on November 30, 2023. The Turkish army installed a camera and the flags of Turkey and the so-called ''Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus'' on the roof of an abandoned house, known as ''the house of Christalla,'' inside the UN buffer zone two days ago. This area is officially the territory of the Republic of Cyprus, given voluntarily to the UN for peacekeeping reasons. As this act constitutes a trespass of the buffer zone status quo, the Republic of Cyprus is demanding that the UN troops act accordingly to revert this action and remove the camera and the flags.

April 11, 2018-Goyang, South Korea-A View of Korean War battle of white horse memorial monument in Cheorwon, South Korea. The Battle of White Horse was another in a series of bloody battles for dominant hilltop positions during the Korean War. Baengma-goji was a 395-metre (1,296 ft) hill in the Iron Triangle, formed by Pyonggang at its peak and Gimhwa-eup and Cheorwon at its base, was a strategic transportation route in the central region of the Korean peninsula. White Horse was the crest of a forested hill mass that extended in a northwest-to-southeast direction for about two miles (3 km), part of the area controlled by the U.S. IX Corps, and considered an important outpost hill with a good command over the Yokkok-chon Valley, dominating the western approaches to Cheorwon. Loss of the hill would force the IX Corps to withdraw to the high ground south of the Yokkok-chon in the Cheorwon area, would deny the IX Corps use of the Cheorwon road net, and would open up the entire Cheorwon area to enemy attack and penetration. During ten days of battle, the hill would change hands 24 times after repeated attacks and counterattacks for its possession. It was one of the most intense position-grasping battle for a small hill during the course of the Korean War. Afterwards, Baengma-goji looked like a threadbare white horse, thence its name of Baengma, meaning a white horse.
