— "The unification ministry plans to upgrade its computer system to strengthen security against possible cyberattacks from North Korea and other hackers, officials said Sunday.
The move comes a year after hackers posing as the ministry sent emails with malicious codes to reporters covering the ministry and other related people. Hacking experts said at the time that North Korea was believed to be behind the attacks.
Earlier this month, the ministry announced a bid to pursue the upgrade, saying, "Intelligent cyberattacks with highly advanced hacking technology are on the rise." "

🇯🇵 Nikkei Asian Review | Lagging China and the US, Japan to beef up cyberdefense | 20-06-20
— "Japan's Ministry of Defense will expand its Cyber Defense Unit by 30% to nearly 300 people by next spring as increasing cyberattacks worldwide have spotlighted Japan's lack of readiness, especially in the military cybersecurity realm. The ministry will also step up recruitment of cybersecurity experts.
With the U.S. and China vying for supremacy in cybersecurity, Japan's lax defense posture could affect its alliance with Washington, analysts warn.
The CDU currently has 220 members from the Japanese Ground, Maritime and Air Self-Defense Forces. Even with the planned increase to 290 members by next spring, the unit will be much smaller than its American or Chinese counterparts."

Time | U.S. Naval Buildup in Indo-Pacific Seen as Warning to China | 12-06-20
— "For the first time in nearly three years, three American aircraft carriers are patrolling the Indo-Pacific waters, a massive show of naval force in a region roiled by spiking tensions between the U.S. and China and a sign that the Navy has bounced back from the worst days of the coronavirus outbreak.
The unusual simultaneous appearance of the three warships, accompanied by Navy cruisers, destroyers, fighter jets and other aircraft, comes as the U.S. escalates criticism of Beijing’s response to the coronavirus outbreak, its moves to impose greater control over Hong Kong and its campaign to militarize human-made islands in the South China Sea.
“There have been some indications in Chinese writings that the United States was hit hard by COVID-19, that military preparedness was low, so perhaps there is an effort by the United States to signal China that it should not miscalculate,” said Bonnie Glaser, director of the China Power Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “The Chinese will definitely portray this as an example of U.S. provocations, and as evidence that the U.S. is a source of instability in the region.” "

CNBC | South Yemen separatists seize remote island from Saudi-backed government | 21-06-20
— "Southern separatists have seized control of Yemen’s island of Socotra in the Arabian Sea, deposing its governor and driving out forces of the Saudi-backed government which condemned the action as coup.
The Southern Transitional Council (STC) declared self rule in the south in April, complicating U.N. efforts to forge a permanent ceasefire in a war that has separatists and the government fighting as nominal allies in a Saudi-led coalition against the Houthi group, who control the north.
On Saturday, the STC announced it had seized government facilities and military bases on the main island of Socotra, a sparsely populated archipelago which sits at the mouth of the Gulf of Aden on one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes."

Israel Today | Israel’s New “Secret” Friend in Yemen | 21-06-20
— "Behind closed doors, a new state in the Middle East was declared: Aden, a colony in the southwestern region of Yemen. The Southern Transitional Council (STC) took control of the area, led by Maj.-Gen. Aidarus Qassem Abdulaziz al-Zoubaidi, the governor of Aden province until April 2017. Aden was a British Crown colony from 1937 to 1963.
Surprisingly, at a recent press conference the STC expressed a positive atitude towards Israel, although the question of official diplomatic relations with the Jewish State has yet to be discussed. Hani bin Breik, Vice-Chairman of the STC, tweet that "relations between Israel and Qatar are very good". In his tweet, he recalled Shimon Peres' historic visit to Doha and praised Prime-Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's recent visit to Oman. "Arabs and Israelis agree on a two-state solution, and Arab countries normalizing relations with Israel."
Many Israelis responded positively to these sentiments and sent greetings to the New Autonomous State in Yemen. Various Sources in Jerusalem told Israel Today that is Israel is conduncting Secret meetings with the New Government in Southern Yemen"
