      China, Russia complete first stage of joint military exercise

      2024-09-15 19:58 Last Updated At:21:47

      The naval and air forces from China and Russia on Sunday completed the first stage of their joint military drills code-named "Northern/Interaction-2024".

      According to a statement announced by China's Ministry of National Defense on Monday, the drills aimed to deepen strategic cooperation between the two sides and strengthen their ability to respond to security threats.

      During the five-day exercises, the naval and air forces from both sides completed multi-subject tasks in the waters and airspace of the Sea of Japan to test the tactical command coordination and joint operation capabilities of the two sides.

      Ship-to-sea firing was launched right after the fleets reached the designated waters. According to the information sent by the air forces, the maritime joint operation group locked on to the enemy ships quickly and conducted simulated missile attacks.

      Sailors used radars and photoelectricity to constantly update information about aerial targets.

      Chinese guided-missile destroyer Wuxi and Russian corvette Sovershennyy fired one after another, and they both hit the targets.

      "High intensity and fast pace are the prominent features of the drills, which required us to better demonstrate our continuous combat capability. Especially in anti-aircraft firing by secondary guns, the lead ship fired and hit the target instantly in the fleeting combat window. This has fully demonstrated our ability and training level," said Song Qinglong, a Chinese sailor.

      As night fell, under the command of the Chinese side, the joint maritime taskforce conducted ship-to-sea firing by main guns. After Chinese guided-missile destroyer Xining took the firing position, sailors at the main firing potion carried out attacks according to the instruction and destroyed the targets successfully.

      "In the drills, we applied real battlefield environment to conduct exercises on subjects such as ship-to-sea firing by main guns and anchorage ground defense at night, and effectively dealt with all kinds of emergencies in the darkness of night. We achieved the desired effect through the drills," said Dong Kai, another Chinese sailor.

      Chinese rescuers Tuesday continued to sift through the rubble in search of survivors in Myanmar's second-largest city Mandalay, closest to a devastating 7.9-magnitude earthquake's epicenter.

      Sixty-seven rescuers from China Search and Rescue Team, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region's rescue team, and Shenzhen Rescue Volunteers Federation searched 32 collapsed buildings across 29 sites in the city on that day.

      Meanwhile, China International Search and Rescue Team (CISAR), together with civilian emergency responders, combed through 30 buildings at five key sites, including Mandalay University, Mandalay International Airport, and the Great Wall Hotel.

      Additionally, four medical teams were deployed to provide on-site support, with decontamination stations set up and 1,200 square meters of operational zones sanitized.

      The death toll from last Friday's powerful earthquake in central Myanmar has risen to 2,886, with 4,639 injured and 373 still missing, according to the country's State Administration Council information team on Wednesday.
