The incident highlights ongoing tensions in the region, where China claims nearly all waters despite an international ruling rejecting its extensive territorial claims. The Philippine coast guard said the collision occurred at 9:15 a.m. when a Chinese coast guard ship first fired its water cannon at the BRP Datu Pagbuaya, a government vessel managed by Manila’s fisheries bureau.

“This technology is our future threat,” warns Serhiy Beskrestnov as he inspects a recently captured Russian drone. Unlike traditional weapons, it uses artificial intelligence to locate and strike targets without human intervention. Beskrestnov, a consultant for Ukraine’s defence forces, has analysed countless drones since the invasion began. This model stands out. It neither sends nor receives signals, making it impossible to jam or detect. Both Russian and Ukrainian forces are experimenting with AI on the frontlines. They use it to track enemies, process intelligence, and clear mines faster than ever before. AI becomes a decisive force on the front Artificial…
