US Conducts Live-Fire Drills in South China Sea After Beijing's Taiwan Exercises | Firstpost Live

The United States has stepped up its military presence in the Indo-Pacific, with the US Navy conducting live-fire drills in the South China Sea. The exercises were carried out by the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and described as routine operations aimed at testing readiness and deterring aggression. The drills come days after China held large-scale military exercises around Taiwan, code-named Justice Mission 2025, which included simulated blockade scenarios. As tensions rise between Washington and Beijing, Taiwan remains at the centre of regional and global security concerns due to its strategic location and critical role in global trade and semiconductor supply chains.
