Russia has launched live-fire naval exercises in the Baltic Sea, escalating tensions with nearby European nations already on edge over NATO and Ukraine. The drills, called Ocean Shield-2023, involve over 6,000 personnel, 30 warships, and 30 aircraft, and are designed to test the navy's readiness to protect Russian interests in the region. This comes after Finland, with a Baltic coast, became NATO's newest member, increasing Russia's land border with the alliance.

Southeast Asian nations to hold navy drills in South China Sea.

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is planning joint naval exercises in September, the first held by countries in the bloc on their own, near a disputed area of the South China Sea. The exercises are being planned for the waters of South Natuna, just outside the nine-dash line, which China uses to demarcate what it considers its maritime border. ASEAN members Cambodia and Myanmar declined to take part in the planning conference. The drills are being read by many as a signal to China, which has become increasingly aggressive in the disputed waters.

China lays claim to the majority of territory in the South China Sea, though this territorial possession is disputed by the US and neighboring Taiwan.

Mystery Object Found Near Nord Stream Pipeline Raises Suspicions of Sabotage

A German report suggests that the Russian Navy's exercise in the Baltic Sea a week before the Nord Stream gas pipeline attack had the right combination of assets, including mini-submarines, combat swimmers, and a spy vessel, to carry out the operation. The report also highlights suspicious movements of Russian naval assets based on satellite imagery. The findings have not yet been reflected in official statements, and the Danish government has invited Russian observers to help recover and study a mysterious object found near the pipeline. Despite the suspicions, countries are still not blaming Russia for the attack, as they maintain a parallel hardline over Ukraine.
