Amid Tensions over China War Games, U.S, Philippines Launch Joint Drills | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Multiple US and Filipino troops launched joint military exercises in the northern and western Philippines on October 15 (Tuesday). The focus of annual US-Philippines joint drills known as Kamandag or Venom is to defend Luzon - the largest island in The Philippines. The island lies about 800 kilometres (500 miles) from Taiwan. The military exercises come after China conducted drills dubbed as 'war games' around Taiwan on Monday. The US' joint drills also come days after The Philippines said that a Chinese militia vessel collided with one of its patrol ships in the disputed South China Sea.
