China’s military on Monday launched joint drills around Taiwan involving air, navy and missile units, calling them a “stern warning” against “Taiwan independence” forces and what it described as “external interference.” Taiwan said it was placing its forces on alert and condemned Beijing as “the biggest destroyer of peace.”

Greece, Israel and Cyprus will step up joint air and naval exercises in the eastern Mediterranean in 2026, deepening their defence cooperation, Greek military officials and a senior source said on Monday.

The Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) announced joint military exercises named "Justice Mission-2025", involving coordinated operations across land, sea and air.

Monday’s drills came after Beijing expressed anger at what could be the largest-ever U.S. arms sale to Taiwan and expressed anger over a statement by Japan’s prime minister that its military could get involved.
