NEW YORK — A New York City police officer is among four people killed in a shooting inside a Midtown Manhattan high-rise.Police said the gunman walked into the office building on Monday evening with an MR rifle in clear view before spraying bullets in the lobby and on an upper floor.

Those inside the building cowered as gunfire echoed - some even piling couches and chairs against doors as they hid in offices.Police say the suspect, Shane Devon Tamura, 27, travelled from Las Vegas but a motive is unclear.Among those killed was New York City officer Didarul Islam, who was working security at the building at the time of...

BANGKOK — Thailand has accused Cambodia of "deliberately" violating a ceasefire the two countries had agreed on Monday to end border clashes that have killed at least 33 people and displaced thousands.It's a shaky start for the ceasefire, which was meant to bring an end to five days of bombardment and rocket attacks along the shared border.The Thai military says it stopped firing after midnight, but that it continued to receive gunfire from the Cambodian side "at multiple locations" up until this morning.But Cambodia's defence ministry told the AFP news agency there had been "no armed clashes" between the two sides since the ceasefire began at midnight.A meeting between local commanders which was part of the ceasefire agreement has been postponed...

Gaza experiencing 'real starvation', Trump says
JERUSALEM — There is "real starvation" in Gaza, Donald Trump has said, after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insisted there was no such thing.Asked if he agreed with Netanyahu that it was a "bold-faced lie" to say Israel was fuelling hunger in Gaza, the US president replied: "I don't know... those children look very hungry... that's real starvation stuff."Speaking during a meeting with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Scotland, Trump said: "Nobody's done anything great over there. The whole place is a mess...

US used about a quarter of its high-end missile interceptors in Israel-Iran war, exposing supply gap
WASHINGTON — The United States blew through about a quarter of its supply of high-end THAAD missile interceptors during Israel’s 12-day war with Iran in June, according to two sources familiar with the operation, thwarting attacks at a rate that vastly outpaces production.US forces countered Tehran’s barrage of ballistic missiles by firing more than 100 THAADs (short for Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) – and possibly as many as 150 – a significant portion of America’s stockpile of the advanced air defense system, the sources said. The US has seven THAAD systems, and used two of them in Israel in the conflict.Using so many THAAD interceptors in such a short period exposed a gap in the US missile defense network and depleted a costly asset at a moment when American public...
