The missiles were fired from areas around Hwangju country, in North Hwanghae province, towards the Sea of Japan, the Joint Chiefs said in a statement reported by CNN. This comes just under two weeks after Pyongyang test-fired a submarine-launched ballistic missile. That missile entered Japan's air defense identification zone, the first time that has happened. It also comes at a potentially embarrassing time for North Korea's only real ally, China, which is currently hosting the Group of Nations summit in Hangzhou. At the G20, Chinese President Xi Jinping told his South Korean counterpart on Monday that Beijing opposes the deployment of the United States' THAAD missile defense system to South Korea. "Mishandling the issue is not conducive to strategic stability in the region and could intensify disputes," Xi told Park Geun-hye. The stated purpose of the THAAD system is to defend South Korea from missile attack from the North.

"It's (Saudi Arabia's) position that rejects the candidacy of [Change and Reform bloc leader MP] Michel Aoun, and worsened the inteal crisis that we're today experiencing through the Cabinet," Qaouk said during a memorial for a Hezbollah fighter in the Lebanese town of Tayr Filsey in the southe district of Tyre (Sour). He attributed the absence of a president in Lebanon to Saudi Arabia's rejection of Aoun, a position which he said has negatively impacted all state institutions. "As long as the Future Movement is walking behind the Saudi veto, Lebanon will not be stable," Qaouk added, the Daily Star reported. He noted that no faction can be excluded.

"It's probably not terrorism. It's a criminal act," said spokeswoman Ine Van Wymersch. "I cannot confirm that there was any bomb." State broadcaster RTBF and other outlets had reported that a car drove through a security barrier at the site about 2 a.m. (0000 GMT), followed by an explosion that caused significant damage to the facility on Brussels' north side, the Associated Press reported. Nobody was injured. The crime lab assists and advises Belgium's justice authorities in carrying out their investigations. Investigators said the suspected arsonists set fire to a laboratory used to analyze DNA samples found at crime scenes. "So it's an act that could be linked to (destroying) several files," Van Wymersch said. She said any explosion heard by residents may have been caused by material being consumed in the fire. Belgium has been on high alert since coordinated March 22 suicide bomb attacks on the Brussels airport and subway killed 32 people. Belgium's police and army have been deploy, ...ادامه مطلب

Time magazine noted that “devastating pictures and footage from Syria are common now.” But what about children in other war-to countries? This is one of the questions posed by Irish joualist Andrew Cockbu, who argues that Saudi Arabia’s bombing and destruction of Yemen is largely ignored, Truthdig news website reported on Friday. In a recent article for Harper’s Magazine, he summed up what’s going on in Yemen: Thousands of civilians— no one knows how many— have been killed or wounded. Along with the bombing, the Saudis have enforced a blockade, cutting off supplies of food, fuel, and medicine. A year and a half into the war, the health system has largely broken down, and much of the country is on the brink of starvation.
