Posted on 7th Dec 2022 11:08 am by rohit kumar

China's spy ship 'Yuan Wang 5' has entered the Indian Ocean region ahead of India's long-range ballistic missile test in the Bay of Bengal. The ship is equipped with various surveillance and intelligence equipment. Sources said on Tuesday that the Indian Navy is keeping an eye on the movement of Chinese ships capable of ballistic missiles and satellite surveillance.

 

The diplomatic dispute caused by the ship

The ship's stoppage at the Hambantota port in August triggered a diplomatic row between India and Sri Lanka. Open-source intelligence expert Damian Simon tweeted, China's missile and satellite surveillance ship 'Yuan Wang 5' has entered the Indian Ocean region. There has been no official comment so far on the reports of the spy ship's presence in the Indian Ocean region. As per the prescribed protocol, India has issued a notice regarding a recent missile test. It is not clear whether India will go ahead with the missile test plan given the presence of the Chinese spy ship.

 

The Chinese ship was given for the last time in Indonesia

The Chinese ship was last seen in the Sunda Strait of Indonesia. The visit of the Chinese ship comes amid concerns raised by the activities of Chinese ships in the Indian Ocean. India is strengthening security ties with like-minded countries in the Indian Ocean against the backdrop of concerns over China's growing activities in the region.
