North Korea tests cluster bomb warheads in latest'major' weapons test A combination picture shows what North Korea said was a test to evaluate the effectiveness of a cluster-bomb warhead in this image released Sunday. North Korea said Sunday that it had tested cluster-bomb warheads for its tactical ballistic missiles a day earlier, the latest in a spate of weapons tests by the nuclear-armed country. Defense officials said the test "confirmed that the Standard Type 2 cluster-bomb warhead is capable of turning into ashes a target area of 12 to 13 hectares with its highest-density power," the North's official Korean Central News Agency said in a report. Images accompanying the report -- which framed the event as a "major" weapons test -- showed Hwasong-11D short-range ballistic missiles being fired, with the cluster warheads slamming into an island target. The North's Missile Administration called the test "a part of regular scientific research activities aimed at boosting the power of combat systems."

Did Iran capture a US submarine? Iran sees'false flag' operations after UK blames IRGC for airbase incident Share Iran sees'false flag' operations after UK blames IRGC for airbase incident on social media Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has condemned the United Kingdom's attribution of an alleged plot near a military airbase in the town of Fairford to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which it views as part of a greater Western effort. British Prime Minister Andy Burnham told Parliament on Monday that the suspected plot last month against the Royal Air Force base was "highly likely to have been coordinated in Iran" and "almost certainly directed by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard". The UK announced sanctions against two Iranian nationals over alleged "hostile activity" at RAF Fairford in southern England. It follows an incident around the base, which hosted US military aircraft, in the early hours of September 27, when five British men in their 20s suspected of "terrorism" and explosives offences were arrested.

At least 81 US aircraft worth up to $3.3bn lost or damaged in Iran war Share At least 81 US aircraft worth up to $3.3bn lost or damaged in Iran war on social media At least 81 United States military aircraft, including fighter jets and drones, have been lost or damaged during Operation Epic Fury, the code name for Washington's military campaign against Iran launched earlier this year. The statistic comes as part of a report released on Monday by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), a nonpartisan government agency that provides budget-related research to the legislature. The report this week highlights the growing price tag for the war, which began on February 28. A lasting ceasefire has remained out of reach as the conflict continues into its eighth month. "The asymmetries of warfare show that even small countries with small militaries can inflict damage on the world's best militaries," said Harlan Ullman, a former naval officer and chairman of the Killowen Group, a government advisory firm. He told Al Jazeera that Iran has managed to achieve a degree of success in damaging US military hardware and bases in the Middle East.

Trump says'threat' led US to pull bombers from RAF Fairford US President Donald Trump has said the United States moved its bombers out of RAF Fairford because of some threats to the base. The Pentagon confirmed on Sunday it had removed its bombers - thought to be about a dozen B-1s - from the base back to their home stations in America. Speaking to reporters as he departed for Nebraska on Monday, Trump said the US knew of a threat, which led them to move the bombers. Earlier on Monday, a No 10 spokesperson had insisted RAF Fairford was safe and pointed to Trump's comments last week, where he praised our police, defence and security services in relation to the base. Trump's comments appear to confirm reports by US media that a new threat had led to the bombers being removed, which follows a major incident on 27 September when police were alerted to three suspicious vehicles near the airbase.

What prompted the US bombers to leave RAF Fairford? The unexpected mass withdrawal of America's heavy bombers happened so suddenly on Sunday that it has got everyone wondering what prompted it. An abundance of caution, says US Vice-President JD Vance, adding that Washington felt Iran was doing what it has done for 49 years... which is engage in acts of terrorism against the US and against a lot of other people. An abundance of panic is how others have seen it. For the last seven months, America's B-1 Lancer bombers and other aircraft have been operating out of Fairford to strike the Iranian missile launch sites.

He added that Defence Secretary Wes Streeting had said last week, we have tried and tested approaches to defend our bases around the country and throughout the world.
