Faced with an onslaught of weaponised drones, mortar rounds and snipers, US-backed fighters in Syria's Raqa say the cover of night is a good ally against Islamic State group jihadists. The Syrian Democratic Forces are battling to oust the extremists from the northern city after breaking into its first neighbourhood last week. After piercing into and taking the southeastern district of Al-Meshleb, the SDF fighters are now advancing towards the Old City.
An American college student who emerged from prison in North Korea in a coma has severe brain damage, but doctors don't know what caused it, a medical team treating him in Ohio has said. The doctors described Otto Warmbier as being in a state of “unresponsive wakefulness” but declined to discuss his outlook for improvement, saying such information would be kept confidential. At an earlier press conference, Otto's father said does not believe the North Korea’s claims about his son’s health, but feels the “results speak for themselves” when asked if Barack Obama’s administration could have done more to bring his son home sooner.
