  • New Zealand said the Chinese navy conducted a live-fire exercise in international waters near the Pacific nation on Saturday, a day after it held a similar drill between Australia and New Zealand that forced airlines to divert flights.

The article from Reuters discusses an incident where Australia criticized China for not providing adequate notice or explanation regarding a live-fire naval exercise in the Yellow Sea. The Australian government expressed concerns over the lack of transparency and the potential risks this poses to maritime safety. The notice, which was issued just a day before the exercise, was deemed insufficient for ensuring the safety of international shipping lanes. Australia's Defense Minister Richard Marles highlighted the importance of clear communication and adherence to international maritime laws to prevent misunderstandings and ensure safety at sea. This event underscores ongoing tensions and the need for better communication between nations in military activities that could impact international waters.
