WHO chief 'escaped death narrowly' in Yemen airport attack The director general of the World Health Organization (WHO) has said he and his colleagues "escaped death narrowly" while being caught up in an Israeli air strike on an airport in Yemen. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus recounted feeling "completely exposed" during the attack, which killed at least six, in an interview with BBC Radio 4's Today programme. He and other UN staff had been leaving Sanaa, in western Yemen, on Thursday following a trip to negotiate the release of UN detainees and assess the humanitarian situation in the country when the airport was hit. Israel's military said it carried out "intelligence-based strikes on military targets" belonging to Iran-backed Houthi rebels.

More US Marines and warships being moved to Middle East, reports say More US Marines and warships are being deployed to the Middle East, two officials confirmed to CBS News, the BBC's US partner. The officials said the reinforcements were to come from an amphibious ready group and its Marine expeditionary unit, with one official adding that the group would be led by the Japan-based USS Tripoli, an amphibious assault ship. The unit headed by the USS Tripoli typically consists of around 5,000 sailors and Marines distributed across several warships. The development comes as President Donald Trump said US forces had "totally obliterated" Iranian military infrastructure on Kharg Island in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for global oil shipping.
