China slams Philippines over joint drills with US and Japan in South China Sea
BEIJING — China on Sunday criticized the Philippines after Manila conducted joint maritime drills with the United States and Japan, escalating a new round of tensions in the South China Sea. Tian Junli, spokesman for the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Southern Theater Command, said the Philippines must “immediately stop provocative actions” and avoid further destabilizing the region, according to state-run Xinhua News. He issued the statement after the Philippines held what Beijing described as “joint patrols” with countries from outside the region, which, it claimed, “undermined peace and stability.” Tian added that the PLA Southern Theater Command carried out a routine patrol on Friday, including a bomber formation operating in the South China Sea. Beijing’s...

Chile votes in sharply polarized presidential race dominated by crime and migration fears
SANTIAGO — Chileans headed to the polls Sunday to elect a new president amid mounting concerns over rising crime and irregular migration, setting the stage for a likely far-left versus far-right runoff in December. While eight candidates are competing, the race for the Palacio de La Moneda has tightened into a showdown between the ruling coalition’s candidate and the ultra-conservative opposition. Major polling by Radar Electoral points to a high-stakes Dec. 14 runoff between Communist Party candidate Jeannette Jara, 51, who leads with about 28% of voter intention, and far-right contender José Antonio Kast, founder of the Republican Party, at roughly 20%. Kast previously lost the 2021 runoff to Gabriel Boric. The traditional right remains fragmented. National Libertarian Party...

Sakurajima volcano erupts in Japan, sending ash 4,400 meters into the air
TOKYO — Japan’s Sakurajima volcano in Kagoshima Prefecture erupted early Sunday, spewing ash and smoke up to 4,400 meters (14,436 feet), according to Kyodo News. The eruption, which occurred at 12:57 a.m. at the Minamidake crater, produced the highest plume recorded since Oct. 18 last year. The Japan Meteorological Agency issued an ashfall forecast for Kagoshima, Kumamoto and Miyazaki prefectures as the eruption continued following the initial blast. Authorities reported no injuries or structural damage. Large volcanic rocks were ejected as far as the volcano’s fifth station, though no pyroclastic flows were detected. The alert level remains at three out of five, restricting access around the crater. Sakurajima, among Japan’s most active volcanoes, is connected to the Osumi...

Zelenskyy says Ukraine secures Greek gas deal to boost winter supplies
ATHENS — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Sunday that Kyiv has reached an agreement with Greece to import gas as the country races to secure winter energy supplies amid ongoing Russian attacks on critical infrastructure. “Today, we have already prepared an agreement with Greece on gas for Ukraine, which will be another gas supply route to secure imports for the winter as much as possible,” Zelenskyy said in a video statement shared on X. He said Ukraine already has financing arrangements in place for gas imports and is seeking nearly €2 billion ($2.3 billion) to offset losses in domestic production caused by Russian strikes. Zelenskyy acknowledged support from European partners and said Kyiv is also working closely with the US on securing full funding. The president...

Trump says he has decided on possible Venezuela action but withholds details
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump said Friday that he has made up his mind regarding potential action on Venezuela but declined to disclose details, telling reporters aboard Air Force One that he “can’t tell” what the next steps will be. Asked whether a decision had been reached, Trump said: “I can’t tell you what it would be, but I sort of did. We’ve made a lot of progress with Venezuela in terms of stopping drugs from pouring in.” He said US efforts to curb narcotics trafficking were showing results, while noting continued challenges with “a Mexico problem” and “a Colombia problem.” He added: “Drugs coming into our country are greatly slowed, as you can imagine.” Over the past two months, the US military has carried out deadly strikes on at least 21...

Japan summons Chinese envoy over Osaka consul general’s remarks on Taiwan
TOKYO — Japan summoned China’s ambassador on Friday to protest comments made by the Chinese Consul General in Osaka, escalating diplomatic tensions following Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s recent remarks about Taiwan. Japan’s Vice Minister for Foreign Affairs Takehiro Funakoshi summoned Chinese Ambassador Wu Jianghao to lodge a “strong protest” over Xue Jian’s statements, which Tokyo described as “highly inappropriate,” according to the Foreign Ministry. Xue wrote on platform X last weekend that he would “cut a dirty neck without a moment of hesitation” after Takaichi said that any Chinese military action against Taiwan — including a naval blockade — could constitute a “survival-threatening situation,” enabling Japan to exercise collective self-defense. The...

Floods swamp displacement tents in Khan Younis amid worsening Gaza weather crisis
GAZA — Heavy rains flooded dozens of tents sheltering displaced Palestinians in Khan Younis in southern Gaza on Saturday, deepening the humanitarian crisis facing families forced from their homes. The Gaza Civil Defense said its teams responded after large numbers of tents in several areas of Al-Mawasi, west of Khan Younis, were submerged in rainwater. Since Friday, the Gaza Strip has been hit by a low-pressure system accompanied by cold air and heavy rainfall, worsening conditions for the 1.5 million displaced people in the enclave. According to the Gaza Government Media Office, 93% of all displacement tents — 125,000 out of 135,000 — are no longer suitable for shelter due to weather damage and the impact of Israeli bombardment. Israel continues to block the entry of shelter...

China warns citizens against travel to Japan
BEIJING — China has warned its citizens against traveling to Japan as tensions escalate following remarks by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi regarding the island of Taiwan. The move marks Beijing’s most substantive retaliation yet, signaling its willingness to leverage economic influence in response to geopolitical disputes. In a statement Friday, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said “blatantly provocative remarks on Taiwan” had “further damaged the atmosphere for people-to-people exchanges,” creating additional risks for Chinese citizens in Japan. The ministry urged Chinese nationals to “refrain from visiting Japan for the time being.” State broadcaster CCTV reported that major Chinese airlines, including Air China, China Eastern and China Southern, offered ticket...

Explosions at Buenos Aires industrial complex injure 15 and disrupt flights
BUENOS AIRES — Powerful explosions rocked an industrial complex outside the Argentine capital on Friday night, injuring at least 15 people and triggering a massive fire that firefighters struggled to bring under control, officials said. “The explosions and fire breaking out in the different factories are huge,” Ezeiza Mayor Gaston Granados told AFP. “We are trying to control it and extinguish it but have not been able to so far.” Authorities said the injured were taken to local hospitals, with most suffering burns or injuries from shattered glass caused by the shock wave. Thick smoke affected visibility across the area, forcing several flights bound for Ministro Pistarini International Airport — Argentina’s main international gateway — to be delayed or diverted. The cause...
