South China Sea Breaking: Taiwan Deploys HIMARS Unit To Target Deep Into China | Xi Vows Retaliation

South China Sea Breaking: In a significant escalation of defensive capabilities, Taiwan has officially formed its first combat-ready HIMARS rocket unit. This move is designed to strengthen deterrence against increasing threats and military pressure from China. Taiwan's Defense Minister, Wellington Koo, lauded the new unit as a "significant boost" to the island's defensive power, underscoring the strategic importance of this deployment. The soldiers operating these advanced systems have completed specialized training in the United States, highlighting the close military cooperation between Washington and Taipei. The M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) is a game-changer for Taiwan's military. It can fire six 227mm rockets or a single Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missile, the latter boasting a range of up to 300 kilometers. This impressive range means that key military and strategic targets deep within mainland China's coastal provinces are now potentially within Taiwan's strike capability. Reports suggest that Taiwan may have already acquired these long-range ATACMS missiles, a detail that is sure to alarm military planners in Beijing. This deployment is part of a larger arms deal with the U.S., with 11 of a total 29 HIMARS systems already delivered. The move aligns with America's broader strategy to build a strong coalition in the Indo-Pacific to counter China's growing military and economic dominance. While the HIMARS system has proven its devastating effectiveness in the Ukraine conflict, analysts note that China's more advanced air defense systems could pose a greater challenge. The activation of this unit comes as Chinese military aircraft and vessels continue to cross the sensitive median line of the Taiwan Strait, prompting regular intrusion warnings from Taipei and keeping the region on high alert. #Taiwan #China #HIMARS #USChinaRelations #BreakingNews #WorldNews #Geopolitics #OneindiaNews #IndoPacific #ATACMS Also Read Pakistan at China’s Command: Proxy War on India, Debt Trap at Home—Sri Lanka 2.0 :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-at-china-s-command-proxy-war-on-india-debt-trap-at-home-sri-lanka-2-0-7791359.html?ref=DMDesc Iran To Buy Chinese J-10C Fighter Jets :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-to-buy-chinese-j-10c-fighter-jets-7788123.html?ref=DMDesc China Halts Exports Of Specialty Fertilisers To India Amid Rising Tensions, Raising Supply Concerns :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/china-halts-exports-of-specialty-fertilisers-to-india-amid-rising-tensions-raising-supply-concerns-7783941.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~

Thai-Cambodia War Latest: Thailand Frees ‘Only 2 Soldiers’,18 Still Held As Border Standoff EXPLODES

Tensions are rising between Thailand and Cambodia after Phnom Penh confirmed that only 2 of the 20 Cambodian soldiers captured at the O'Smach border checkpoint have been released by Thai forces. One soldier has reportedly returned dead, leaving 18 still under Thai control. The Cambodian Ministry of Defense has called for the immediate return of all detained soldiers, invoking international humanitarian law and vowing to avoid another armed escalation. “We will not allow war to break out again,” the Cambodian Defense Ministry insisted in a bold statement, but also issued a strong appeal to Bangkok to return not just the 18 remaining soldiers, but also others reportedly held under Thai custody. The clash that led to these captures has sparked fears of renewed tensions in the already sensitive border region. Diplomatic efforts are now being urged at the highest level to prevent a repeat of history. #Cambodia #Thailand #BorderClash #SoldierStandoff #Osmach #InternationalLaw #CambodianSoldiers #ThaiMilitary #MilitaryTensions #DefenseMinistry #BreakingNews #ConflictZone #SEAsiaNews #BorderTensions #CapturedSoldiers #RepatriationDemand #DeadSoldier #PrayForPeace #ThaiCambodiaCrisis #WarThreat ~HT.410~GR.124~ED.102~

Thailand RUBBISHES Cambodia’s Accusation of Bombing Preah Vihear Temple as Border Conflict Escalates

Thailand has fiercely rejected Cambodia’s accusation that its military bombed the Preah Vihear Temple—a UNESCO World Heritage site—amid intensifying border clashes. Bangkok calls Phnom Penh’s claims a “distortion of facts” and “politically motivated,” denying any damage to cultural or civilian zones. Cambodia alleges air and artillery strikes caused major destruction, violating international law. The 11th-century temple, long contested, is now a flashpoint fueling nationalist tensions as both sides trade blame and the risk of escalation continues to mount. #Thailand #Cambodia #PreahVihear #TempleBombing #UNESCO #BorderClash #SoutheastAsia #ThaiArmy #CambodiaArmy #WorldHeritage #MilitaryConflict #TerritorialDispute #BreakingNews #InternationalLaw #CulturalHeritage #ThaiPM #PhnomPenh #BannedWeapons #Disinformation #Escalation #ThailandCambodiaTensions #FlashpointAsia #UNESCOWatch #Nationalism #AsiaCrisis #HistoricSiteUnderFire #PeaceTalksFail #TempleWar Also Read Who Is Wilawan Emsawat?
