UAE says intercepts 2 ballistic missiles launched by Yemen's Houthis

The Ministry of Defense in the United Arab Emirates says its air defense systems intercepted and destroyed two ballistic missiles fired by Yemen's Houthi militia.

The ministry says a missile launcher in Yemen was destroyed shortly after it launched ballistic missiles against Abu Dhabi.

It says no casualties were reported as a result of the attack because the ballistic missile fragments fell in several locations around the UAE capital.

The latest exchange of fire came after a Houthi attack on the UAE on Jan. 17, during which three petroleum tankers burst into flames near Abu Dhabi National Oil Company storage facilities. Three persons were killed and six others injured in the attack.

Ice-wall coolant leaks from Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan

The operator of Japan's disaster-hit Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant has confirmed that four tons of coolant has leaked from two storage tanks.

The coolant was used to create an ice wall refraining groundwater from seeping into reactor buildings.

The leakage was discovered on Jan. 16 near the ice wall.

Tokyo Electric Power Company says there may be damage to the ice pipes in the wall and the company will seek to repair the damage.

It says there is no immediate impact on the wall's function.

The leakage poses more unpredictable challenges in the clean-up of the site, nearly 11 years after the massive earthquake and tsunami disaster on Japan's northeastern coast.
