Ten US Navy sailors are missing and five have been injured after a US destroyer and an oil tanker collided near Singapore, the Navy says, reported BBC.

The Indianapolis was destroyed returning from its secret mission to deliver parts for the atomic bomb which was later used on Hiroshima, reported BBC. 

The US warship was discovered 18,000 feet (5.5km) beneath the surface.

Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, who led the civilian search team, said the discovery was "truly humbling".

North Korea dismissed warnings by U.S. President Donald Trump that it would face "fire and fury" if it threatened the United States as a "load of nonsense" and outlined detailed plans on for a missile strike near the U.S. Pacific territory of Guam.
