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

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~

Houthi Attack DESTROYS British 'Magic Sea' Ship in Red Sea | Britain Dragged Into Red Sea War [Video]

Houthi Attack DESTROYS British 'Magic Sea' Ship in Red Sea | Britain Dragged Into Red Sea War

This exclusive new footage provides a chilling, firsthand look inside the bulk carrier 'Magic Sea' during a devastating attack by Houthi rebels in the Red Sea. The video captures the sheer panic as alarms blare and glass shatters from the impact of the strike, forcing the crew to abandon the ship just moments before it began to sink. This incident marks a significant escalation in the ongoing Red Sea crisis, which is severely disrupting global shipping routes. The Houthi group in Yemen officially claimed responsibility for the attack, stating they utilized a combination of unmanned boats, naval missiles, and drones. According to a statement by their spokesperson, the group alleges that the 'Magic Sea' had violated their ban on ships entering Israeli ports, which they refer to as "occupied ports." They further claimed that the ship's crew had been issued multiple warnings but failed to comply, leading to the direct strike. In the aftermath of the attack, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) confirmed a successful rescue operation. All 22 crew members and the security staff onboard the vessel were safely evacuated before the ship was completely lost. This attack is the latest in a series of aggressive actions by the Houthis against international maritime traffic, raising global concerns over the security of this critical waterway and the potential for a wider conflict in the Middle East. #RedSea #HouthiAttack #BreakingNews #WorldNews #OneindiaNews #Yemen #MiddleEastCrisis #GlobalShipping #MagicSea #Israel Also Read US and Iran-Backed Houthis Commit to Escalation Following Airstrikes Targeting Yemen Rebels :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-iran-backed-houthis-escalation-airstrikes-yemen-011-4096567.html?ref=DMDesc 17 People Missing After Tourist Yacht Sinks in Red Sea Following High Waves Warning :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/tourist-yacht-sinks-red-sea-17-missing-011-3998351.html?ref=DMDesc US Navy Continues Aircraft Carrier Presence in Red Sea to Counter Houthi Threats :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-navy-extends-aircraft-carrier-deployment-red-sea-011-3838877.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~GR.122~

Strait Of Hormuz In CHAOS: Three Ships Ablaze Near Strait Of Hormuz Amid Israel-Iran Conflict

Amid soaring Israel-Iran tensions, dramatic images on social media show three ships engulfed in flames off the Gulf of Oman near the critical Strait of Hormuz. While authenticity remains unverified, NASA’s FIRMS data also detected fires in the same zone. The area, a vital artery for global oil, has long been a flashpoint. No official Emirati response has surfaced yet. As Israel pounds Iran’s military sites, fears rise over possible retaliation through trade disruption, especially a blockade of Hormuz, which sees over 20 million barrels of oil pass daily. #IsraelIranTensions #StraitOfHormuz #GulfOfOmanFire #MiddleEastCrisis #OilTradeThreat #ShipFireGulf #HormuzBlockadeFears #FIRMSData #IranStrikeBack #IsraelIranWar #OilRouteAtRisk #GlobalOilSupply #MaritimeSecurity #TankerFirePhotos #UnverifiedImages #GeopoliticalFlashpoint #TehranVsTelAviv #HormuzCrisis #GulfMaritimeAlert #BreakingMiddleEast ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.125~
