Tensions escalated in the South China Sea after China warned the European Union to stop “provoking trouble” and stay out of its territorial disputes with the Philippines. The sharp rebuke followed EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas' visit to Manila, where she voiced concern over China's assertive actions. Beijing insisted the EU has no legal or diplomatic role in the matter, cautioning Manila not to rely on outside powers for resolution. The statement underscores China's hardened stance as geopolitical fault lines deepen in the contested maritime zone.

Tensions in the South China Sea have escalated sharply as China’s navy launched combat readiness patrols near the disputed Scarborough Shoal, a territory claimed by the Philippines. The drills, confirmed by China’s state-run Xinhua agency, were aimed at reinforcing Beijing’s control over the contested region. The provocative move follows multiple maritime confrontations and comes amid rising regional unease. Meanwhile, South Korea has reported a surge in Chinese installations in the Yellow Sea, further stoking concerns about China’s expanding maritime assertiveness.

An explosion at Japan’s Kadena Air Base in Okinawa injured four Japanese Self-Defense Force (SDF) personnel during WWII ordnance disposal on Monday. The blast occurred inside the U.S.-controlled base, though no American personnel were hurt. The injuries are not life-threatening. Japan’s 15th Brigade was handling unexploded ammunition at the time. Authorities have urged the public to avoid the area as investigations continue. Kadena, the largest U.S. airbase in the Asia-Pacific, plays a key strategic role near Taiwan.
