US troops finish deployment to Alaska as Russian military activity rises

About 130 US soldiers are returning to their bases after being deployed last week to a remote western Alaska island with mobile rocket launchers amid a spike in Russian military activity off the western reaches of the US, a military official said Thursday. The deployment to Shemya Island involved soldiers from Alaska, Washington and Hawaii with the 11th Airborne Division and the 1st and 3rd Multi Domain Task Forces, Sgt 1st Class Michael Sword, a spokesperson for the 11th Airborne, said in an email to The Associated Press.

Taiwan launches live-fire missile drills as China ramps up military threats

Taiwan's military launched surface-to-air missiles in live-fire drills conducted Tuesday in response to growing military pressure from China. The exercises took place at the Jiupeng Military Base in a remote area in southern Taiwan. Among the missiles launched were Taiwan's domestically made Sky Bow III anti-ballistic missiles along with the US-made Patriot PAC II and surface-to-air Standard missiles. China claims the democratically ruled island of Taiwan as its own territory, to be brought under its control by force if necessary and ramped up its military threat in recent years. Beijing in particular dislikes Taiwan's new President Lai Ching-te, who took office earlier this year and whom Beijing has called a separatist. Taipei has boosted its deterrence capabilities in response. Missiles, both domestically built and US-made, are key to its defence strategy. Defence Ministry spokesperson Sun Li-fang said all the missiles launched Tuesday hit their targets. This shows our training
