Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 15:00:59 GMT

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — A rapid spring snowmelt after an unusually wet winter is unleashing flooding from the Southwest to the Rockies, causing residents there and in the Upper Midwest to evacuate or stock up on sandbags amid surging creeks and rivers.’In Flagstaff, Arizona, neighbors on one street have been working side by side since Tuesday with shovels to stave off floodwaters from their homes. Three creek-retention basins installed last year helped initially, city emergency officials said. But water has engulfed the shoulder of a local highway, and several roads and sidewalks are closed. Even sections of urban trails are submerged. Officials are calling it an unprecedented amount of water, something that was impossible to plan for.“It would be nice to have an exact model of what we need to do. But we don’t,” Flagstaff Vice Mayor Austin Aslan told the Arizona Daily Sun on Wednesday. “We don’t know what the next fire will look like, or where that scar will be. Th...

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea says it has tested a newly developed intercontinental ballistic missile targeting the mainland U.S.North Korea’s state media said Friday its recent weapons test involved a new long-range missile powered by solid propellants, which it described as “the most powerful” piece of its growing nuclear arsenal targeting the United States and its allies in Asia.The report by North Korea’s official Korean Central News Agency came a day after its neighbors said the North fired an ICBM, likely based on solid propellants. KCNA said Thursday’s test was successful. It called the weapon “the most powerful method” to deter external aggressions and guarantee the country’s safety.An ICBM with built-in solid propellants would be easier to move and hide and could be fired more quickly, reducing the opportunities for opponents to detect and counter the launch.Before Thursday’s launch, North Korea’s all previous ICBM tests used liquid fuels.

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Two goals up and seemingly cruising toward the Europa League semifinals, Manchester United is now counting the cost of a late meltdown against Sevilla.Own goals from Tyrell Malacia and Harry Maguire in the 84th and 92nd minutes on Thursday left the quarterfinals in the balance at 2-2 ahead of next week’s second leg in Spain. Meanwhile, injuries to center backs Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez added to a bad night for Erik ten Hag.The United manager is already without injured leading scorer Marcus Rashford at a critical point of the season. Bruno Fernandes is also suspended for the second leg after picking up his third yellow card of the competition.“We had the game in our hands, we were 2-0 up and should have scored three or four, then we had some unlucky moments with injuries,” Ten Hag said. “I know we can do better in the last part of the game, we have to be more composed. We were a little bit unlucky defensively. It wasn’t a nice night.”It was Sevil...
