From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Nine people were killed and 10 were wounded in a mortar and artillery attack on central Sarajevo yesterday, the latest in a series of relatively isolated attacks on the Bosnian capital, Reuter reports from Sarajevo.
Doctors at Kosevo hospital, the main casualty centre, said five women and three men were killed by mortar fire and a soldier was killed by a sniper. Serbs were reported to have attacked two Muslim enclaves in eastern Bosnia that are supposed to be 'safe areas' under UN protection. Government-controlled Sarajevo radio said four people had been killed and two wounded over the past few days by Serb artillery attacks on Gorazde, and five people were wounded by shelling in Srebrenica.
