Multiple outlets report that the United States and partner nations sink two decommissioned ships during Exercise Balikatan, a multinational military exercise in the Philippines. The operation involves a two-day strike that uses a mix of land, sea and air capabilities. Reporting across the sources says forces from the U.S., the Philippines, Japan, and Canada participate in the strike. The exercise uses decommissioned vessels as targets, with the strike resulting in the sinking of two ships. Each account describes the same overall sequence and scope: a coordinated, multi-platform attack conducted over two days and carried out by the participating countries’ forces. While the sources provide consistent details on participating nations, the exercise name, the two-day strike timeframe, the involvement of land/sea/air platforms, and the outcome of sinking two decommissioned ships, they do not specify additional operational details such as the names of the ships or the weapons used. Overall, the reports characterize the event as a live-fire component of a larger joint exercise among the four countries.
