Manila Tondo Fire BREAKING: Massive Blaze Tears Through Densely Populated Area; HUGE EXPLOSION
A massive fire has ripped through the densely populated district of Tondo in Manila, triggering chaos and panic among residents.
Witnesses reported a huge explosion moments after the blaze erupted, sending thick plumes of smoke into the sky and forcing hundreds to flee their homes.
Firefighters are battling to contain the inferno as authorities investigate the cause of the blast.
Emergency crews are on high alert, with fears of further explosions and damage in the packed urban neighborhood.
In a bold diplomatic and military move, India hosted Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. with full state honours—while simultaneously dispatching warships for joint patrols in the South China Sea. INS Delhi, INS Shakti and INS Kiltan sailed alongside Philippine vessels inside Manila’s exclusive economic zone, triggering a subtle yet unmistakable warning to China. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs reaffirmed support for freedom of navigation, calling the waters part of the “global commons.”
The joint drill coincided with Marcos’ five-day India visit, where the two nations signed a landmark Strategic Partnership agreement to boost defence, maritime cooperation, disaster relief and cyber security. While India didn’t name China, Beijing’s rebuke of “third-party interference” left little ambiguity. The coordinated political hospitality and military manoeuvres signal India’s rising Indo-Pacific assertiveness and a strategic alignment with one of China’s fiercest regional rivals—firmly placing New Delhi in the emerging anti-China security web across the Indo-Pacific.

China has issued a stark warning after the Philippines and India completed their first-ever joint naval patrol in the disputed South China Sea, reporting “shadowing” vessels and prompting Beijing’s PLA Southern Theatre Command to declare its forces on high alert. The maritime cooperative activity—as three Indian warships operated alongside Philippine frigates near Scarborough Shoal—coincided with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s state visit to New Delhi, signaling a deeper strategic bond between the two democracies.
China condemned the move, accusing Manila of “rallying external powers” and asserting that such so-called joint patrols undermine regional peace. Analysts warn India's involvement could reshape the Quad’s maritime posture and provoke tougher Chinese responses. Beijing insists disputes must be settled directly and vows to safeguard its territorial sovereignty. As $3 trillion in trade flows through these waters annually, this flashpoint could mark a significant shift in Indo-Pacific security dynamics.
