Two U.S. aircraft carrier groups and a Japanese helicopter destroyer are conducting joint drills in the Philippine Sea, according to the U.S. 7th Fleet. The exercise aims to enhance maritime communication, air warfare operations, and combat readiness. The drills involve the USS Carl Vinson, USS Theodore Roosevelt, and the JS Ise, along with nine other U.S. warships. The exercises come amid regional tensions and are part of the U.S. Navy's routine presence in the Indo-Pacific. China has not yet responded to the news of the drills, which are taking place near the South China Sea.
