The warships, including the Zibo, a Type 052D guided-missile destroyer, the frigate Jingzhou, and the integrated supply ship Qiandaohu, are part of the People’s Liberation Army’s (PLA) 44th Naval Escort Task Force.

They recently participated in a joint military exercise with Oman, underscoring China’s expanding presence in the region

In response to these developments, the general public is raising their voices in unison, advocating for an immediate end to the ongoing conflict and calling for a ceasefire

The sentiment is reflected in Hassan Haider’s tweet:

War isn’t a joke

It doesn’t seem too big of a deal when you’re inside your warm, comfy house

As these global concerns grow, the call for peace becomes more urgent, with citizens around the world emphasizing the necessity to stop regional conflicts and avoid further loss of innocent lives.

War isn’t a joke

It doesn’t seem too big of a deal when you’re inside of your warm, comfy house

But innocent people are losing their lives
