MANILA, June 26 (Reuters): Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's office said on Saturday (June 25) it was "exasperated" with International Criminal Court Prosecutor Karim Khan and his plan to resume an investigation into killings during the government's crackdown on drugs.

Khan said on Friday that a deferral of the ICC's probe sought by Manila was not warranted and the probe should recommence as quickly as possible.
