WELLINGTON， Sept. 30 (Xinhua) -- International flights coming into land at Auckland， New Zealand's biggest airport， have been hit by laser beams， the New Zealand Police said Friday.

Police were also investigating reports from pilots of laser strike attacks on a domestic flight coming into Wellington Airport.

On Thursday evening， a passenger plane on route to Wellington Airport was targeted with a powerful green laser aimed at the cockpit.

Both pilots suffered headaches and had their vision temporarily obscured as a result of the strike， but the plane later landed safely， said a police statement.

Early Friday， several international flights approaching Auckland Airport were also targeted.

The statement said police were investigating the incidents in both cities and a police helicopter had been deployed when the reports were received to try to pinpoint and track the visual line of the laser.

Anyone caught was likely to face charges such as endangering transport or criminal nuisance.

"Anyone using a laser pointer on an aircraft is putting the lives of those on board in serious danger，" Senior Constable Shane Gealey， Tactical Flight Officer， Air Support Unit， said in the statement.

"While to the person pointing the laser， it may just be a little dot of light， whereas for the person on the other end， it is a large illumination that can cause eye damage， flash blindness and headaches."

The flight attendants' union， E tu， condemned the laser strikes as irresponsible and potentially lethal.

"These strikes put everyone at risk， including the pilots， flight attendants and the general public，" E tu director of organizing aviation Kelvin Ellis said in a statement.

Last month， an Auckland man was identified and charged with endangering transport and was currently before the courts.

Earlier this week， a Police helicopter was hit by a laser strike over Auckland. Enditem

On Saturday Adidas Jeff Skinner Jersey , Page Six reported that Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot was refusing to sign on to the sequel unless Warner Bros. ended its co-financing deal with Brett Ratner’s production company RatPac-Dune Entertainment.

Well, it seems like Gadot, and everyone else involved with the production, got their wish. Gadot toldToday co-anchor Savannah Guthrie on Wednesday in response to a question about her reportedly strong stance against working with Ratner again:

“So, at the end of the day, a lot has been written about my views and the way that I feel, and everyone knows the way that I feel because I’m not hiding anything. But the truth is, there’s so many people involved in making this movie, it’s not just me, and they all echoed the same sentiments. You know what I mean? Everyone knew what was the right thing to do, but there was nothing for me to actually come and say, ’cause it was already done before this article came out, you know?”

Ratner stands accused of sexual misconduct by actresses Olivia Munn, Jamie Ray Newman, and Natasha Henstridge, among others. Last week, Ellen Paige said that Ratner verbally abused her and outed her on set when she was 18 years old. Earlier this month, Warner Bros. and Ratner parted ways in a manner that sure did look as if the production company did the dumping. (Agencies)

" Russian President Vladimir Putin has been out of the public eye for a week (AFP PhotoMikhail Klimentyev)

Where is President Vladimir Putin? The Kremlin was forced Thursday to insist the Russian leader was in good health as rumours swirled online over his week-long absence from the public eye.

Putin was last seen in public on March 5 when he met with Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi and, ever since he postponed a trip to Kazakhstan this week, Russians have grown increasingly curious about what their leader is up to.

The 62-year-old nurtures a fit, tough-guy image and rarely takes time off.

""There's no need to worry, he's absolutely healthy,"" Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Echo of Moscow radio station on Thursday.

Putin also postponed a meeting to sign an alliance agreement with the leader of the Georgian breakaway region of South Ossetia, and did not show up at a meeting of the FSB security agency.

Peskov said the agreement with the rebel region may be signed next week and that Putin's attendance at the FSB meeting was not planned.

He said Putin was busy with Russia's economic crisis and has ""meetings constantly, but not all meetings are public.""

Asked if Putin's handshake remains firm, Peskov laughed and said: ""It breaks your hand."" However he evaded a question on when Putin would next be seen on television.

""As soon as the sun comes out... and it starts smelling of spring, people start getting delusions,"" Peskov told TASS agency.

Adding grist to the rumour mill, the RBK news website claimed that Kremlin footage purporting to show Putin meeting regional governors and women on International Women's Day last week had in fact been filmed earlier. Peskov denied this.

The last time the popular Russian strongman's health prompted such speculation at home was when he cancelled a number of foreign trips in 2012 after appearing to have developed a limp, which the Kremlin said was due to a sports injury.

Whispers in Moscow about a leader's health are nothing new, with Putin's ailing predecessor Boris Yeltsin and former Soviet supremo Leonid Brezhnev the constant targets of rumours over their health.
