China’s military says it has followed and warned away a US warship that “illegally” entered Chinese waters near the disputed Paracel Islands in the South China Sea.

Russia says it expects the United States to abandon its "irresponsible" plans to control the Black Sea, after the US navy's 6th fleet deployed its command ship Mount Whitney to the strategic region.

The Russian defense ministry says a US naval command ship has entered the Black Sea and the country’s navy has started tracking the vessel as tensions escalate over NATO activities near Russia's borders.

A US Navy investigation says a fire that destroyed a warship last year was "clearly preventable.”

The US military has accused Russia of lying about a recent naval interaction.

China censures the passage of yet another US warship through the Taiwan Strait, describing Washington as the greatest security "risk creator," which continues to intentionally play the same old tricks in the region.

Russia expresses alarm about the presence of a US warship in the Black Sea while its naval forces were conducting military drills in the area, declaring that it was monitoring the actions of US Coast Guard Patrol Cutter Hamilton.

China says US deliberately provoking tensions in the Taiwan strait.
