China-Philippines dispute grows tenser; China
vows to keep up military pressure
China claims sovereignty over virtually the entire South
China Sea, one of the world's most crucial waterways for shipping, putting it
at odds with the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan and Brunei, who all
maintain claims over islands, reefs and undersea resources in the region.
Naval exercise MILAN- 2024 to be held at
Visakhapatnam, 50 countries likely to participate
The upcoming MILAN 2024, hosted in Visakhapatnam from
February 19 to 27, anticipates record-breaking participation from over 50
nations and nearly 20 ships. The biennial naval exercise, initiated in 1995 by
the Indian Navy, has evolved to align with India's 'Act East policy' and PM
Modi's SAGAR initiative. The event features harbor activities, including
seminars and exhibitions, along with sea maneuvers involving submarines,
aircraft carriers, and advanced warfare operations, synchronizing with India's G20
Presidency theme, 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam'.

ISRAEL WAR #LESSONS FOR INDIA
Russia has fired 7,400 missiles, 3,700 Shahed
drones in war so far, Kyiv says
Russia says it only fires on military targets though Moscow
has also admitted to targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure. Russia says it
does not target civilians, despite thousands of documented civilian deaths
throughout the war. Russia began launching the drones at infrastructure
facilities in September 2022. They initially confused Ukraine's air defences,
as they were harder for standard air defence radars to detect than missiles,
which forced Kyiv to adapt.
Mass drone attack hits several Kyiv districts
Kyiv faced its sixth drone attack this month, targeting
separate residential areas. Mayor Vitali Klitschko confirmed strikes in
Solomyanskyi district, causing a fire in a block of flats and injuring two. The
incident, near a maternity hospital, damaged multiple apartments. Another
attack in Darnytskyi district set fire to a construction site without injuries.
Serhiy Popko reported a third strike in Holosiivskyi district, damaging
apartments. Air raid alerts were lifted afterward. Videos and images on social
media captured the aftermath, including flames and destruction.
