Elbahrain.net China claims to have fired an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) into the Pacific Ocean with success, carrying a dummy warhead. The test launch was "normal" and a part of the ICMB's "annual training," according to Beijing's defense ministry. The spacecraft was launched on Wednesday at 08:44 local time (04:44 GMT) and "dropped into expected sea areas." Although the sort of missile and its trajectory were still unknown, Beijing had "advised the countries involved in advance," according to Chinese state media. Later, Japan claimed to have had "no notice" of the test launch.China primarily tests its nuclear weapons domestically, however it has also fired intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) westward into the Taklamakan Desert in the Xinjiang province.This is believed to be the first time since 1980 that it launched an ICBM into international waters.The announcement of this event on X was made for the first time in a long time, unless I am missing something, according to Ankit Panda, a nuclear weapons analyst at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace."Given that they do not perform this sort of thing either frequently or yearly," he continued, Beijing's designation of the test as "normal" and "annual" seemed peculiar.On Wednesday, the Japanese authorities declared that China had not informed them in advance of the ICBM launch.Reporters were informed in advance by government spokesman Yoshimasa Hayashi that "there was no notice from the Chinese side."The ministry of defense for Japan had earlier declared that its vessels were unharmed.According to Japanese station NHK, the ministry stated early on Wednesday afternoon, "We will continue to gather and analyze information on the actions of the Chinese military and will take all necessary safeguards in our surveillance and monitoring."China conducted an ICBM test in May 1980, which had a 9,070km flight and a Pacific landing. That test, which featured eighteen Chinese naval vessels, is still regarded as one of China's most significant naval operations.Drew Thompson, a visiting research fellow at Singapore's Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, stated on X that "timing is crucial.""[China's] statement says it does not target any country, yet there is ongoing conflict with Taiwan and high levels of friction with Japan and the Philippines."He went on, "The launch is a potent signal meant to scare everyone." According to US-based defense researcher John Ridge, China might have carried out the test as a way to "posture or signal to the United States." Although Beijing and Washington's relationship has improved over the past year, China's growing assertiveness in the area continues to be a topic of contention. China and the Philippines' ships have been colliding in contested waters on a regular basis, which has escalated tensions between them. Japan dispatched fighter planes last month in response to what it called a "utterly unacceptable" accusation that a Chinese spy plane had violated its airspace.
ELBAHRAIN.NET Researchers are assembling a more complete picture of the fighters who engaged in combat 3,250 years ago on Europe's oldest known battlefield according to a recent examination of dozens of arrowheads. The arrowheads made of bronze and flint were found in northeastern Germany's Tollense Valley. When a novice archaeologist noticed a bone protruding from the bank of the Tollense River in 1996, researchers discovered the site for the first time.Since then, digs have uncovered 12,500 bones and 300 metal artifacts that belonged to roughly 150 fighters who lost their lives at the location in 1250 BC. Swords, wooden clubs, and a variety of arrowheads, some of which were discovered still embedded in the fallen, have all been recovered as weapons. Researchers who have investigated the area since 2007 believe that Tollense Valley is the site of Europe's oldest battle since no direct evidence of a previous conflict of this magnitude has ever been found. Some information about the men has been gleaned from studies of their bones: they were all young, robust, and physically fit warriors, some of whom had healed wounds from earlier engagements. However, scholars have never been able to determine exactly who was involved in the deadly struggle or why they battled in such a brutal manner.Since there are no written records of the fight, archaeologists have utilized the weaponry and well-preserved remains they have found from the valley to piece together the history of the ancient combat site. indications of an incursion Analysis of the remains and earlier finds of foreign items, including a sword and a Bohemian bronze ax from southeast Central Europe, have shown that foreigners participated in the fight of Tollense Valley. However, the current study's researchers were interested in learning what information the arrowheads might reveal. Upon examining the arrowheads, Inselmann and his associates discovered that no two were alike, which was not particularly startling prior to the era of mass manufacturing. However, the archaeologists were able to identify distinct variations in the morphologies and characteristics that indicated some of the arrowheads were not manufactured in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the northeast German state that contains the Tollense Valley.In order to compare the more than 4,700 Bronze Age arrowheads from Central Europe that Inselmann gathered information on, he mapped out their origins and gathered literature on the subject.The investigation found that many of the arrowheads were similar in style to those found at other sites in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, indicating that they were produced locally and carried by males who lived in the area.Inselmann did note that some arrowheads, however, matched those from a southern region that covers modern-day Bavaria and Moravia. These arrowheads had straight or rhombus-shaped bases, as well as side spurs and barbs.Inselmann stated in an email that "this shows that at least a part of the combatants or even a complete battle faction active in Tollense Valley derive from a very distant place." Inselmann and his colleagues suspect it unlikely that the arrowheads were smuggled from another location to be used by local combatants. If not, they would anticipate discovering proof of Bronze Age ritual graves in the area that contained arrowheads.the beginning of a conflictAccording to research coauthor Thomas Terberger, a causeway that across the Tollense River and was built roughly 500 yeaInselmann stated in an email that "this shows that at least a part of the combatants or even a complete battle faction active in Tollense Valley derive from a very distant place."rs prior to the fight is assumed to have served as the catalyst for the conflict. Since 2007, Terberger, a professor at the University of Göttingen in Germany's prehistoric and historical archaeology department, has been researching the site, which is a 1.8-mile (3-kilometer) section of the river.He stated, "It seems likely that the causeway was a component of a major commerce route." "Managing this bottleneck issue might have played a significant role in the dispute." However, Barry Molloy, an associate professor in University College Dublin's school of archaeology, noted that the likelihood of the trade route argument is diminished by the lack of conclusive evidence in the area of wealth sources, such as metal mines or locations for salt extraction. Molloy did not participate in the research.
