The Republican-led U.S. House of Representatives voted 215-208 to approve a resolution directing President Donald Trump to withdraw U.S. forces from Iran unless Congress authorises military action, with four Republicans joining Democrats in support.

Ukraine launched overnight strikes on Crimea's two main cities after Russia and Ukraine traded attacks on each other's territory a day earlier, leaving at least four people dead.

Germany's foreign minister has suggested the country's strong backing for Ukraine and its close ties to Israel may have contributed to its failure to secure a seat on the UN Security Council.
