UAE says intercepts14 2 ballistic missiles launched by Yemen's Houthis
The Ministry of Defense15 in the United Arab Emirates says its air defense systems intercepted16 and destroyed two ballistic missiles fired by Yemen's Houthi militia17.
The ministry says a missile launcher in Yemen was destroyed shortly after it launched ballistic missiles against Abu Dhabi.

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 leakage27 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 immediate28 impact on the wall's function.
