JAKARTA — Indonesia on Monday (June 5) launched a multilateral naval exercise in its waters, alongside navies from countries including the United States, Britain, China, Japan, Russia and South Korea, amid simmering tensions in the Asia-Pacific region.

Indonesia's navy said in a statement the routine Komodo drills were a"non-war" exercise that aims to"strengthen relationships between the navies" of 36 countries.

The drills also follow a weekend incident in the Taiwan Strait in which the US Navy said a Chinese warship cut in front of a US destroyer in an"unsafe interaction".
