Philippines Fortifies "Spearhead" Island, Taiwan Upgrades Airbases For "Chinese missile attack"
The Philippines' defence chief has ordered the military to boost the number of troops stationed at the northernmost islands near Taiwan. The move is aimed at fortifying Manila's territorial defence capabilities amid tensions with Beijing over the South China Sea. Defence Secretary Gilberto Teodoro also called for the development of more structures on the remote Batanes islands. Teodoro and military chief Romeo Brawner Jnr and other officials visited the naval detachment in Batanes province on February 6. “Starting 2024, the operational tempo for the Armed Forces of the Philippines will be higher,” said Teodoro, according to a Philippine Navy statement. #philippines #china #taiwan #batanes #southchinasea #usnavy #worldnews n18oc_world n18oc_crux 0:00 INTRODUCTION 2:46 PHILIPPINES-US DEFENCE COOPERATION 3:25 TAIWAN TO UPGRADE RUNWAYS AMID TENSIONS WITH CHINA CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
