مشاهير123 - بدأت دولة فيتنام تجري مناورات عسكرية بالذخيرة الحية في بحر الصين الجنوبي وسط اجواء متوترة مع الصين حول مياه يتنازع البلدان السيادة عليها.
وقال ضابط بالبحرية الفيتنامية إن المناورات "الروتينية" ستجرى في منطقة تبعد بمسافة 40 كيلومترا قبالة اقليم كوانغ نام، خارج المنطقة المتنازع عليها مع الصين.
وستجرى المرحلة الثانية من المناورات ليلا، وقد حذرت السفن التجارية من الوجود في المنطقة المذكورة.
وقد استنكرت وسائل الاعلام الصينية الرسمية المناورات الفيتنامية واصفة اياها باستعراض للقوة الغرض منه تحدي بكين.
وتجري المناورات الفيتنامية بعد ايام قليلة من تصعيد في الخلاف طويل الامد بين البلدين حول حدودهما البحرية.
Will another war happen between Vietnam and China?
English: Machahir123-- Vietnam has started live-fire naval drills in the South China Sea, a move that analysts see as raising the risk of a "showdown" with Beijing over a deepening territorial rift.
"The first live firing by the Vietnamese Navy began at 0100 GMT [on Monday] and will last until 0500GMT," said a naval officer based in the central city of Danang, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The exercise is taking place around Hon Ong island, about 40km off Quang Nam province in central Vietnam, the officer said.
A long-standing dispute between the communist neighbours over sovereignty of two potentially oil-rich archipelagos has erupted again after recent sea confrontations that have left relations at their lowest point in years.
About 300 people in Hanoi, the capital, and Ho Chi Minh City held anti-China rallies on Sunday to proclaim Vietnam's maritime sovereignty.
Demonstrations are rarely allowed in Vietnam, but this was the second weekend in a row that protesters have criticised Beijing.
