US strikes Iran-linked munition storage sites

BBC World Service - Newsday, US strikes Iran-linked munition storage sites

Two F-16s targeted weapons and ammunition storage facilities near Iraqi border.

The Pentagon described them as self-defence strikes, in response to recent drone and rocket attacks against US forces in Iraq and Syria by Iranian-backed militia groups.

The US military has carried out strikes in eastern Syria against two facilities it says were being used by Iran's Revolutionary Guards.

EU leaders have called for humanitarian corridors and pauses in fighting to get aid into Gaza.

And a huge manhunt for the gunman suspected of killing 18 people in a mass shooting in the US state of Maine has entered its second day.
