US President Donald Trump on Tuesday issued a stern warning to both Israel and Iran, accusing them of actions which could shatter a hard-won truce.

"These guys gotta calm down. It's ridiculous. I didn't like plenty of things that I saw yesterday. I didn't like the fact that Israel unloaded right after we made the deal ... and I didn't like the fact that the retaliation was very strong," Trump told reporters in Washington before leaving for the NATO summit in The Hague.

Trump mentioned that both countries "violated" the ceasefire that was announced late Monday.

"Israel, as soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped a load of bombs the likes of which I've never seen before... The biggest load that we've seen, I'm not happy with Israel. When I say now you have 12 hours, you don't go out in the first hour, just drop everything you have on them. So, I'm not happy with him. I'm not happy with Iran either," said the US President.

The South Korean independent counsel investigating former President Yoon Suk Yeol's short-lived imposition of martial law sought a warrant Tuesday to detain him on charges of obstruction of official duties, officials said.

The special counsel, led by Cho Eun-suk, filed for the warrant against Yoon, pointing to Yoon's repeated refusals to comply with summonses from the police for questioning over his December 3 martial law declaration.

"The counsel, which took over the case Monday, decided to file for an arrest warrant to investigate the suspect," the investigation team said in a notice, referring to Yoon, news agency reported.

A total of 150 South Korean nationals and their family members have evacuated Iran and Israel amid the escalating armed conflict between the two Middle Eastern nations, Seoul's foreign ministry said on Tuesday.

The government has provided support, including transportation and consular assistance, to help 56 people escape Iran to Turkmenistan, and 26 others to Jordan, ministry spokesperson Lee Jae-woong said in a press briefing.

Another 68 South Koreans and their family members have left Israel and taken shelter in Egypt over two separate operations, with the help of the Korean communities in both countries, news agency reported.

"We express our sincere gratitude to the governments of Turkmenistan, Jordan and Egypt for their warm solidarity, and we will work to ensure that this spirit of friendship and cooperation continues closely into the future," he said.

The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) on Tuesday announced that the Israeli Air Force struck missile launchers in Iran that were ready to be launched towards Israeli territory.

"Air Force aircraft attacked in western Iran in recent hours, destroying missile launchers that were ready to launch as part of the barrage launched towards Israeli territory," said the IDF.

Earlier in the day, according to the IDF, alerts were activated in several areas of the country following the discovery of missiles launched from Iran.

Four people were killed and several others injured after an Iranian ballistic missile struck an apartment complex in Beersheba. The building was reduced to rubble following the direct impact.

Taiwan's Ministry of National Defence (MND) on Tuesday reported the detection of 12 sorties of Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) aircraft and seven People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) vessels operating around its territory.

According to the MND, the activity was observed up until 6 a.m. (local time), with 10 of the 12 PLA aircraft crossing the median line of the Taiwan Strait and entering Taiwan's northern, southwestern, and southeastern air defence identification zones (ADIZ).

"12 sorties of PLA aircraft and 7 PLAN vessels operating around Taiwan were detected up until 6 a.m. (UTC 8) today. 10 out of 12 sorties crossed the median line and entered Taiwan's northern, southwestern and southeastern ADIZ. We have monitored the situation and responded," the defence ministry said in a statement.

Several countries including France, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Jordan on Tuesday strongly condemned Iran’s attack on the US bases in Qatar.

Iran has reportedly fired six missiles towards American military bases in Iraq and Qatar on Monday, furthering the conflict with Israel and the US.

As per media reports, the operation was named “Annunciation of Victory”. However, there have been no major impacts of the missile attack on the US bases in Qatar as American Patriot missile defence systems intercepted Iranian missiles.

Condemning the Iranian strikes on Qatar, French President Emmanuel Macron held a conversation with Sheikh Tamim, Emir of Qatar expressing solidarity with Qatar.

“I spoke with my friend Sheikh Tamim, Emir of Qatar. I conveyed to him my full solidarity and my condemnation of the Iranian strikes that targeted his country. France stands alongside Qatar and each of its partners in the Gulf,” said Macron in a post on X on Tuesday.

After being deferred multiple times, NASA on Tuesday announced a new date for Indian astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla's historic flight to the International Space Station.

Shukla is now slated to fly on June 25 from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

"NASA, Axiom Space, and SpaceX are targeting 2:31 a.m. EDT, Wednesday, June 25, for the launch of the fourth private astronaut mission to the International Space Station, Axiom Mission 4," NASA shared in its latest update on the social media platform X.

"The crew will travel to the orbiting laboratory on a new SpaceX Dragon spacecraft after launching on the company’s Falcon 9 rocket," the post added.

Three people were killed and several others injured after an Iranian ballistic missile struck an apartment complex in Beersheba, as Iran launched eight missiles targeting central and southern Israel on Tuesday.

The building in Beersheba was reduced to rubble following the direct impact.

Additionally, emergency responders from Magen David Adom confirmed three fatalities.

Several others wounded in the blast were transported to nearby hospitals and care centres for treatment, though no official tally of the injured has been released.

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung on Monday named five-term lawmaker Ahn Gyu-back as Defence Minister, the first time in 64 years that a civilian has been nominated for the post, the presidential office said.

Lee's pick of Ahn is seen as carrying out his election pledge to reform the military, a key promise from his presidential campaign to rebuild a nation fractured by the brief imposition of martial law in December last year under his predecessor, the ousted President Yoon Suk Yeol.

The military has come under scrutiny since Yoon deployed troops to the National Assembly when he declared martial law on December 3, allegedly to block lawmakers attempting to stop his brief imposition of martial law decree. Yoon was removed from office in April over the martial law debacle.

South Korean former President Yoon Suk Yeol attended the eighth hearing of his insurrection trial on Monday, but was tight-lipped on a new investigation by independent counsels over his failed martial law bid.

Yoon arrived at the Seoul Central District Court around 10 am to attend the eight hearing of his insurrection trial on charges of leading an insurrection and abusing his power through his December 3 imposition of martial law.

It was Yoon's first trial after his case was transferred to the special counsel team, led by Cho Eun-suk, last week.

Yoon also did not respond to questions about corruption allegations involving his wife, Kim Keon Hee.
