Last update: 7 hours agoSubmarine Missile Shock in the Pacific: China’s July 6 submarine-launched, nuclear-capable ballistic missile test—landing between Nauru and Tuvalu—has drawn sharp condemnation across the region, with New Zealand calling it “unacceptable” and Pacific leaders warning it undermines the nuclear-free “blue continent” and raises militarisation fears. Australia-Fiji Security Push: The missile test landed days after Australia and Fiji signed the “Ocean of Peace Alliance,” tying their security and opening the door for other Pacific states to join—an approach Australia says helps counter growing strategic pressure. Nauru in the Crosshairs: Multiple reports say the missile’s flightpath and splashdown area tracked close to Nauru’s interests, intensifying local attention on regional security and sovereignty. Deep-Sea Mining Governance Fight: The UN seabed regulator (ISA) defended its authority as The Metals Company seeks to halt an inquiry, keeping pressure on how critical minerals are extracted from international waters. Nauru Sports & Local Economy: Rockanson Iga is set for a professional boxing debut in Suva on 25 July, with live streaming options for Nauru viewers.
