South Korean student shares harrowing escape from Israel amid missile barrage
The woman, who is studying at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, chronicled her June 13 evacuation during the aerial clash in a video posted to YouTube last Thursday.
She said she was woken up by air raid sirens at 3am, forcing her to rush into a bomb shelter.
'I initially thought the situation would resolve soon, but I heard the sirens again the next day,' she said in the video, capturing flying missiles that she saw from the window of her college dormitory, as more than 100 missile alerts buzzed her phone.
The student was scheduled to travel to Paris on June 16, which she had booked four months ago, but the flight was cancelled.

Worried about travel safety in 2025? Follow these expert tips to stay protected
A ceasefire in the Middle East between Iran and Israel is holding steady, but international travellers remain on edge over the potential for instability in the region. According to the 2025 Traveller Safety and Sentiment Survey conducted by rescue and evacuation company Global Rescue, 78 per cent of travellers said they are either 'very concerned' (23 per cent) or 'somewhat concerned' (55 per cent) about the impact of geopolitical instability on their travel plans from now until the end of 2025. In other words, while the ceasefire may have eased immediate volatility or tensions between the two countries, traveller confidence has yet to be fully restored. What is more, traveller concerns are not limited to the Middle East. The Global Rescue survey indicates travellers are also worried about spending time in Mediterranean regions, as well as parts of Europe. 'Even after a ceasefire, the impact on traveller psychology lingers,' said Dan Richards, CEO of Global Rescue. 'People are weighing risk more carefully, and safety continues to drive travel decisions.' Tourists flock to Rome's Colosseum every summer, but a new survey indicates travellers are worried about spending time in Mediterranean regions, as well as parts of Europe.

Chinese flags on South Korea's Udo Island spark backlash: ‘don't know why they were there'
A recent incident involving the Chinese national flag displayed alongside South Korea 's flag on a beach road on Udo Island, Jeju Province, has triggered an online backlash. Videos circulated online showed rows of red flags fluttering next to the South Korean national flag on the coastal road to Hagosudong Beach, a popular tourist destination. Advertisement The footage, taken on Tuesday, was posted by a South Korean user who said they spotted the display while touring the island. 'I don't know why the Chinese flags were there, but Chinese tourists were lining up to take photos with them,' the poster wrote, expressing concern over the scene. According to local authorities, the flags were not installed by the government but appeared to be set up by a private individual. 'We were unaware of the situation until the footage spread online,' an Udo township official told local media. 'By the time our staff visited the site, the flags had already been removed.' The response online has been largely critical. Many users questioned the appropriateness of displaying foreign national flags on South Korean soil without clear context. 'Why are Chinese flags flying on our land?' read one comment.

Starbucks branch offering unique views of North Korea draws 120,000 visitors
A Starbucks branch perched at the edge of one of the world's most heavily militarised borders has brewed up a remarkable success, drawing more than 120,000 customers in just seven months thanks in part to its singular offering: sweeping views into North Korea This outpost of the American coffee giant is not in any ordinary location. It sits atop the observatory at Aegibong Peace Ecological Park, a former military base transformed into an eco-sanctuary in Gimpo, South Korea Here, visitors can sip their lattes while gazing across the Imjin River at the farmlands of reclusive North Korea, just 1.4km (1,500 yards) away – a vista that has earned the branch the nickname 'the North Korea-view Starbucks,' according to Korea JoongAng Daily.

Crawford Since opening in November , the outlet has become a magnet for weekend visitors, attracting nearly 1,000 customers each Saturday and Sunday – more than double the weekday average, Starbucks Korea reported on Monday. 'In line with travel trends that prioritise unique experiences and meaning, the Gimpo Aegibong Peace Ecopark store has become a destination for customers looking for something beyond ordinary consumption,' the coffee chain's regional manager for Gimpo told Korea JoongAng Daily. The park sits beyond the 'civilian control line' south of the demilitarised zone that separates the two Koreas, requiring visitors to book online or buy a ticket on-site before passing through a security checkpoint via shuttle bus. Operating hours are limited, from 10am to 4.30pm, in accordance with park rules. Despite these restrictions, word of mouth and media coverage continue to drive brisk business. Food sales at the branch are 30 per cent higher than at typical Starbucks locations, a surge the company attributes to its popularity among families, especially at weekends. Weekdays see a more diverse clientele, from tour groups and schoolchildren to military personnel.
