Anarchists protest against tourist invasion in Spain

An anti-tourism campaign in Spain hopes to discourage tourists from visiting the country. Masked men of the leftist youth movement Arran Jovent slashed tires of a tourist bus in Barcelona. In another stunt, several protesters climbed yachts in Mallorca and threw confetti at tourists in a restaurant. The group called the protests not vandalism, but self-defence. They said locals are driven out of tourist hot spots and suffer from terrible living conditions. A demonstration is planned in San Sebastian on August 17 by another left-wing group. Aug 5, 2017

U.S. test-launches ICBM amid North Korea tensions

The U.S. military successfully test-launched an Intercontinental-Ballistic Missile from California, just days after North Koreas second test of their own ICBM. The Air Force claimed that the action is not a response to North Koreas recent test launch, but to demonstrate U.S. nuclear enterprise is safe, secure and effective, and ready to deter, detect and defend attacks against the U.S. and its allies.
