China's coast guard said Saturday its officers ordered a Japanese fishing vessel and several patrol ships to leave waters surrounding tiny Japanese-controlled islands in the East China Sea. China says the islands belong to it and refuses to recognize Japan’s claim to the uninhabited chain known as the Senkakus in Japanese and Diaoyu in Chinese. Taiwan also claims the islands, which it calls Diaoyutai, but has signed access agreements for its fishermen with Japan and does not actively take part in the dispute.

Since then, the joint venture has been ramping up Javelin production, with plans to reach an annual manufacturing capacity of around 4,000 missiles by late 2026. The new contract includes the production of more than 4,000 Javelins specifically to replenish stocks sent to Ukraine, the Maryland-based defense contractor said. Source
