WWII Ship Sinks Before U.S.-Philippines Drill | BRP Malvar Goes Down Near Disputed Shoal
The BRP Miguel Malvar, an 80-year-old World War II ship, sank unexpectedly before it could be used as a live-fire target in the U.S.-Philippine Balikatan drills.
Originally set to be sunk off Zambales, rough seas and the vessel's age caused it to go under prematurely.
The Malvar held historical value as a former U.S. Navy ship that once hunted Japanese submarines.
Although the target drill was canceled, joint military exercises continued near the disputed Scarborough Shoal, highlighting growing U.S.-Philippine cooperation in deterring China's presence in the South China Sea.
Australia has deployed its warship, HMAS Sydney, to the South China Sea as part of a three-month Indo-Pacific mission, further escalating tensions in the region. This move follows a series of provocative actions, including China’s naval circumnavigation of Australia earlier this year and a recent unsafe interception of an Australian patrol aircraft by Chinese fighter jets. The Australian Defense Department maintains that its operations align with international law and uphold the principles of a free and open Indo-Pacific. The deployment comes after Australia’s participation in joint military drills with the U.S. and the Philippines, signaling a strong commitment to regional security.

China has deployed its aircraft carrier Shandong and an electronic surveillance ship to the Western Pacific in a direct response to the US-Philippines Balikatan drills and the unprecedented deployment of ship-sinking missiles in Luzon Strait. The US Navy's USS Nimitz is also active in the region. Beijing warned that any military collusion targeting China’s interests will face consequences. With 9,000 US and 5,000 Filipino troops participating, tensions in the South China Sea are at a boiling point, signaling a potential confrontation in the Taiwan Strait corridor.

Tensions are escalating in the Asia-Pacific as China slams the U.S.-Philippines joint military drills near Taiwan. The 2025 Balikatan exercises involve over 14,000 troops and simulated island defenses — moves Beijing says threaten regional peace. Chinese officials accuse the Philippines of colluding with foreign powers and warn the drills will disrupt stability and economic growth. As Australia, Japan, and others join or observe the war games, China warns: “Those who play with fire will get burned.” The Luzon Strait — near Taiwan — is now the center of global attention.

The U.S. Navy's Harry S. Truman may soon exit the Red Sea after enduring multiple strikes from Yemeni forces, including missiles and drones, in retaliation for U.S. airstrikes that targeted civilians. Yemeni defense sources report that the carrier could have been hit, forcing it to retreat. Meanwhile, a U.S. Navy Super Hornet jet fell into the sea amid the attack. With rising tensions in the region and ongoing missile threats, the Truman may follow other carriers that have withdrawn under pressure from Yemeni forces.

A $60 million U.S. Navy F/A-18E Super Hornet has been lost under mysterious circumstances in the Red Sea after what appears to be a high-intensity encounter involving the USS Harry S. Truman and Houthi forces. According to the U.S. Navy, the aircraft was under tow when the move crew lost control, sending it overboard — but questions are mounting. The incident comes amid escalating attacks on the Truman carrier group by Yemen’s Ansar Allah forces, sparking speculation of a potential strike rather than an accident. With rising tensions in the region and Truman’s recent history of close calls, experts are questioning the official narrative.

U.S. Navy fighter jets from the USS Carl Vinson and Harry S. Truman are conducting continuous precision strikes on Iran-backed Houthi targets in Yemen. U.S. Central Command released new footage showing intense operations as American warplanes hammer Houthi-held sites across the region. The strikes come amid growing Red Sea tensions, stalled nuclear talks with Iran, and the presence of U.S. carriers near Iranian waters. As diplomacy falters, Washington signals it’s prepared for broader conflict—with all options still on the table.

China’s newest warship Qinzhou has completed a dramatic live-fire drill just days after joining the PLA Navy’s Southern Theater Command. The stealth frigate Type 054B, hull number 555, was seen in state media footage sinking a target using its main gun and close-in weapon system. This marks Beijing’s bold push to expand naval dominance in disputed waters. As tensions rise, military analysts say the ship’s firepower and far-seas capabilities fit China’s long-term strategy to control critical trade routes and deter rivals in the South China Sea.

Chinese scientists have unveiled a powerful quantum sensor that could tip the balance in undersea warfare. Tested offshore, the drone-mounted system achieves picotesla-level precision, tracking submarines and mapping seabed resources with unprecedented accuracy. The breakthrough overcomes limitations of traditional magnetometers, offering omnidirectional detection even in low-latitude blind zones like the South China Sea. Using coherent population trapping in rubidium atoms, the new Chinese sensor rivals NATO’s MAD-XR at a fraction of the cost, potentially reshaping anti-submarine operations across key strategic waters.
