US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has been moved from his Washington DC home to a military base after Iran-linked threats to his life, according to US media reports. CBS, the BBC's US partner, said the relocation came after a photo of Bessent's home was published in the Wall Street Journal. Bessent has been at the forefront of efforts to isolate Iran economically through sanctions and a wider economic blockade. While the exact nature of the threats against Bessent remain unclear, US intelligence has warned that Iran has substantially increased efforts to target Americans, including US officials. After the Wall Street Journal published an article featuring an online photo that allowed the location of the secretary's Georgetown home to be geo-located, security concerns began to increase, a source told CBS.

A drone attack on a military base in northern Colombia has killed three soldiers and wounded at least 16, the country's armed forces said. The Colombian military said in a statement on Saturday that the attack hit a base in Santa Rosa del Sur, a small town in the foothills of the San Lucas mountain range. Authorities have not said who carried out the strike, the latest in a series of attacks on security forces as violence rises across rural parts of the country. Footage shared on social media showed clouds of smoke rising from the base after three explosions, and soldiers taking cover in shelters made of sandbags. "Those who were behind this attack will have nowhere to hide," President Abelardo de la Espriella wrote on X. "Every attack against our soldiers strengthens our resolve to defend Colombia."

Officials at Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana revealed that an'unmanned aerial system' - better known as a remote-controlled drone - was spotted near the facility Monday morning. Since drones are strictly prohibited from flying near or over the base, the Air Force temporarily raised their Force Protection Condition (FPCON) level to'Charlie,' meaning a possible terrorist threat had been detected . Barksdale Air Force Base is home to the military's fleet of B-52 bombers, capable of delivering nuclear strikes around the world. Base officials noted that Monday's incident was still under investigation, and no details on where the mystery drone came from or if it was captured have emerged.

Trump says UK's Starmer making'a big mistake' with Chagos Islands deal Donald Trump has criticised the United Kingdom's plan to hand over the Chagos Islands to Mauritius, a day after the United States Department of State gave its official approval of the deal. The US president said on Wednesday that Prime Minister Keir Starmer was "making a big mistake" in the agreement to return sovereignty of the archipelago to Mauritius, and lease back the island of Diego Garcia, which is home to a UK-US military base. The Indian Ocean archipelago became part of British territory in 1814, with the UK detaching it from Mauritius before it gained independence in the 1960s. It then worked with the US to force the islands' residents to leave, in order to build a military base on Diego Garcia, which it had leased to the US. Mauritius won its legal battle for sovereignty over the islands in 2019, and the International Court of Justice (ICJ) urged the UK to cede control.

British soldiers will be granted new powers to shoot down drones threatening military bases. The plans, to be unveiled by Defence Secretary John Healey in a speech on Monday, are intended to allow troops to take faster, more decisive action. Four British airbases used by US forces reported mystery drone sightings last year, while drones have disrupted airspace across Europe a number of times in recent months. The new powers will only apply to military sites, but could be extended to civilian locations such as airports. Healey is set to announce the introduction of a kinetic option, first reported by the Daily Telegraph, that would enable British troops or Ministry of Defence (MoD) police to shoot drones posing a threat to a military site in the UK.
