Russia and China Sent Large Naval Patrol Near Alaska

U.S. Naval forces monitored 11 Chinese and Russian ships that patrolled near Alaska's Aleutian Islands before they left the area. Four U.S. Destroyers and reconnaissance aircraft shadowed the fleet without any incursion into U.S. Territory.
Alaskan lawmakers expressed concern over the incident, seeing it as a reminder of increased authoritarian aggression from Beijing and Moscow. They praised the U.S. Navy's response and emphasized the need to strengthen military capacity in Alaska.
The joint patrol by Russia and China was said to be a mock search and destroy mission, according to Russia's Defense Ministry.
