The Philippines is making a bold military move in the South China Sea, announcing new naval bases in Subic Bay, Mindanao, and Sibutu under its ‘Horizon 3’ defense program.
Amid rising tensions with China, the expansion aims to strengthen coastal security from Scarborough Shoal to the Spratlys.
President Marcos emphasized the need for enhanced naval capabilities.
The move also supports trilateral patrols with Indonesia and Malaysia, while rejecting Beijing’s territorial claims and interference in Philippine waters.

Cambodia has closed its airspace over regions bordering Thailand following intense military clashes, citing a major threat to commercial aviation from heavy weapons. The country’s State Secretariat of Civil Aviation (SSCA) has instructed airlines to reroute flights away from the danger zone, especially between Siem Reap and Pailin, where Thai military operations have intensified. While international flights are not canceled, rerouted paths now avoid potentially volatile skies. SSCA spokesperson Sin Jansriwuttha highlighted risks posed by Thailand’s military escalation, warning that further restrictions could be enforced if conflict intensifies.
The airspace ban impacts key flight corridors from the Middle East to Southeast Asia, including routes from Thailand, China, and the Philippines. Cambodian authorities emphasize this is a preemptive safety measure based on lessons from global conflict zones, assuring that air travel remains operational—just more cautious. The situation remains fluid with potential for more stringent aviation controls.

Tensions flared at the United Nations Security Council as China’s Permanent Representative, Fu Cong, fired back at the United States over its accusations regarding the South China Sea. In a fiery exchange during the UNSC debate on multilateralism and peaceful dispute resolution, Fu accused Washington of hypocrisy, interference, and fueling instability in the region.
While the U.S. criticized China’s actions, Beijing firmly defended its territorial sovereignty and maritime claims, calling the American narrative misleading and dangerous. With both sides trading barbs in front of global representatives, the showdown raises fresh questions about who is truly threatening peace in the Indo-Pacific.

In a shocking revelation, Israel has reportedly requested the United States' assistance to push forward a “relocation” plan for Gaza’s civilian population, according to Axios. Mossad chief David Barnea visited Washington and allegedly asked U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff to persuade countries like Ethiopia, Libya, and Indonesia to absorb “hundreds of thousands” of Gazans. The controversial plan appears to align with Tel Aviv’s long-standing siege and military campaign against the coastal enclave, which intensified drastically since October 2023.
The Israeli regime’s ongoing war, supported by unprecedented U.S. military and political aid, has drawn accusations of genocide and population cleansing. Meanwhile, despite Israeli claims of military victories, Hamas continues to resist fiercely with deep-rooted support from the people. The latest report underscores an alarming strategy for population displacement — one that is likely to ignite intense international outrage if confirmed. Is the world witnessing an engineered ethnic cleansing plan unfold?
