VIDEO: Philippine and Chinese Ships Clash Near Contested Scarborough Shoal in the South China Sea

Tensions spike in the South China Sea as the Philippine Navy accuses China of unsafe and aggressive maneuvers near the disputed Scarborough Shoal.

Manila condemned the actions as dangerous provocations threatening regional peace, while Beijing fired back, labeling the Philippines an intruder. With both sides exchanging sharp words and military assets on alert, the Scarborough Shoal has become the latest flashpoint in a high-stakes maritime showdown with global implications. #SouthChinaSea #China #Philippines #ScarboroughShoal #SCSClash #MaritimeDispute #Warships #IndoPacific #Geopolitics #ChinaVSPH #PhilippineNavy #ChineseNavy #NavalTensions #Flashpoint #RegionalSecurity #SoutheastAsia #DiplomaticCrisis #Beijing #Manila #AsiaNews #MilitaryStandoff #NavalConflict #PacificTensions #BreakingNews #ChinaSeaCrisis #GeopoliticalFlashpoint #SCSStandoff #Provocation #MilitaryAlert #ChinaPhilippinesConflict #USAllies Also Read PL-15 vs Meteor: Does China’s Missile Really Give Pakistan An Edge Over India’s Rafales?

“NO EVIDENCE, JUST POSTS” : PAK Defence Minister MOCKED After No Proof On Jet Kill CNN Interview [Video]

“NO EVIDENCE, JUST POSTS” : PAK Defence Minister MOCKED After No Proof On Jet Kill CNN Interview

Pakistan’s defense minister Khawaja Asif stunned viewers during a CNN interview by admitting that Islamabad’s claim of shooting down five Indian jets—including Rafales—was based entirely on Indian social media posts. He provided no military confirmation, stating, “the debris is on their side.” India had earlier launched a retaliatory airstrike on terror camps across Pakistan and PoK. Fact-checkers exposed Pakistan’s viral jet debris photos as old and unrelated. Asif warned of potential full-scale war, while indirectly acknowledging Indian strike casualties. #Pakistan #India #AirStrikes #Rafale #KhawajaAsif #CNNInterview #JetDownClaim #FakeNews #PahalgamAttack #OperationSindoor #IndianAirForce #PakistanAirForce #DefenseNews #IndiaVsPakistan #SocialMediaIntel #MilitaryIntel #WarFooting #PoKStrikes #JetDebrisHoax #MIG21Crash #FactCheck #PIBFactCheck #PakistanPropaganda #TerrorBaseStrikes #SouthAsiaConflict #BilateralTensions #PakMinisterSlip #BreakingNews #IndiaStrikesBack #AsifCNN Also Read Proof From Above: Satellite Pics Show Extent of Terror Site Damage in Operation Sindoor - Before & After Pics :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/proof-from-above-satellite-pics-show-extent-of-terror-site-damage-in-operation-sindoor-see-before-4147141.html?ref=DMDesc 'Pakistan Shot Down 5 Indian Jets' Claims Defence Minister Asif In CNN Interview, Becomes Butt Of A Joke :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-shot-down-5-indian-jets-claims-defence-minister-asif-on-cnn-interview-becomes-butt-of-a-4146991.html?ref=DMDesc Post-Strike Panic or Calculated Crime?

India Calls Out China for Spreading Lies On Operation Sindoor; Jaishankar Aide Destroys Xi's Media

In a bold move, India has fiercely criticized China’s state-run media, Global Times, for spreading disinformation regarding the Indian Air Force’s Operation Sindoor. The Indian Embassy in Beijing called out the media outlet for using outdated images of IAF crashes to mislead the public, claiming they were from the May 7 strikes. India’s fact-checking agencies promptly debunked these visuals as doctored propaganda. #GlobalTimes #China #IndiaChina #IndiaChinaNews #IndiaChinaStandoff #ChineseMediaOnIndia #GlobalTimesOnIndia #IndiaChinaConflict #IndianArmy #IndiaVsChina #IndiaNews #IndiaChinaWar #OperationSindoor #OperationSindoorIndia #IndiaPakistanTensions Also Read PL-15 vs Meteor: Does China’s Missile Really Give Pakistan An Edge Over India’s Rafales?

Shehbaz Sharif SPREADS PROPAGANDA After India’s Operation Sindoor; Claims ‘Rafales Downed’

Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has sparked global mockery after claiming on social media that Pakistani forces “downed Indian Rafale jets” in response to India’s Operation Sindoor. The bold claim, made without any evidence, comes just hours after India’s precision strikes demolished nine terror camps across Pakistan in retaliation for the Pahalgam terror attack. #OperationSindoor #OperationSindoorLive #IndiaStrikesBack #IndianArmy #OperationSindoorLatest #IndiaAirStrike #OperationSindoorVideo #BreakingNews #IndianArmyAction #IndiaPakistanTensions #OperationSindoorNews #ShehbazSharif #IndiaOperationSindoor #PoKStrikes #TerrorCampStrikes ~PR.152~ED.194~HT.336~GR.124~
