Indonesia hosts Super Garuda Shield multinational military drills amid South China Sea tensions
China said it took "control measures" against two Philippine coast guard vessels that entered waters near the disputed Sabina Shoal in the South China Sea. This, less than 24 hours after another collision around the same shoal on Sunday. Meanwhile, Indonesia has commenced its Super Garuda Shield multinational joint military exercise. The two-week drills, which used to involve only Indonesia and US troops, will see over 20 nations as participants and observers. This comes as China has become increasingly more aggressive in its actions in the Indo-Pacific. Chandni Vatvani reports.
