China Conducts Naval Drills East of Luzon Amid US-Philippines Balikatan Exercise
China's PLA Southern Theatre Command announced Friday that a naval fleet recently conducted drills in waters east of Luzon, the northernmost major island of the Philippines. The command, which oversees the South China Sea, described the exercises as "a necessary action taken in response to the current regional situation." The deployment coincided with Monday's launch of Balikatan 2026, a 19-day annual large-scale joint exercise led by the United States and the Philippines.
