India break Korean wall to reach hockey final, set up gold-medal clash with China
The win assured India of at least a silver medal, but they will now aim for gold when they face defending champions China in the final on October 2.
The Chinese military has inaugurated a new logistics base at Ban Keun Airport in Laos, marking an expansion of the People's Liberation Army's (PLA) overseas footprint. This facility, dubbed the China-Laos Military Joint Support and Training Center, commenced operations on Tuesday, as per a statement from China's Ministry of Defense.
The base is set to bolster Laos' air force training capabilities and will be jointly managed by both nations, according to the ministry. The inauguration occurred concurrently with the opening of the China-Laos Friendship Aviation Academy. Laos, a landlocked Southeast Asian country, maintains a modest air force that predominantly utilizes equipment from China and the former Soviet Union.
