The Saudi-led coalition bombing rebels in Yemen denied today renewed accusations of dropping cluster munitions in the country after UN chief Ban Ki-moon said their use may be a "war crime".

President Bashar al-Assad's forces have removed several Scud missiles and dozens of launchers from a base north of Damascus, possibly to protect the weapons from a Western attack, opposition sources said on Thursday.
