TERRIFYING footage captured the moment an explorer stumbled across a hidden underground bunker.

While wandering around the outskirts of an abandoned chemical lab, the inquisitive adventure discovered a series of tunnels leading to a safe house.

The bizarre collection of underground rooms has been totally abandoned and along with it various items of clothing and supplies.

But the place was also fully stocked with gas masks, a chilling indication that the underground maze had been created to protect against a devastating attack.

In a caption alongside the clip, the man says: This bunker was semi-converted into storage space for old equipment and materials of the chemical laboratory above.

Getting into the tunnel wast easy as I had to sneak past cameras, but the tunnel was in a remote part of the building.

The eerie five-minute clip posted to YouTube ends with the man sitting down in one of the blacked out rooms with only his torch light to guide him back to safety.

The man explores various abandoned and uninhabited buildings for his YouTube channel, shiey.

THE United States Navy has opened fire on an Iranian ship in a move that could spark World War 3.

The Pentagon confirmed shots were fired in the Persian Gulf today after the Iranian craft came within 150ft of it.

US Defense officials said the Iranian boat is thought to have been operated by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.

They said that despite warnings including radio calls, firing flares, and five short whistle blasts the Iranian ship carried on sailing towards the Navy boat.

The armed boat from the Islamic Republic then ceased its "provocative" actions, but is said to have "lingered" in the area.

There were several US Navy ships in the immediate area at the time of the incident today, which were carrying out routine patrol operations in international waters, US officials added.

The latest incident will raise fears of a conflict between the two countries.

In June, the US military called the actions of an Iranian vessel "unsafe and unprofessional" after it aimed a laser at a US helicopter that was accompanying a formation of American ships in the international waters of the Strait of Hormuz.

United States officials also previously accused anIranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps ship of acting in an "unprofessional" and "provocative" manner when it approached an American destroyer, the USS Mahan, while it was sailing in the Persian Gulf in April.

A formidable Chinese flotilla has travelled 10,000 miles for the show of strength with its ally Russia.

Ten ships and the same number of aircraft descended on Europes border to take part in their provocative war games.

Among the arsenal is the Chinese Type 052D guided missile destroyer Hefei, one of the countrys most advanced warships.

And they have been joined by a Russian contingent featuring equally advanced hardware, including two Russian corvettes.

The exercises have been met with caution by Nato members, with the Chinese ships being escorted at various points in their mammoth journey by British, Dutch and Danish crafts as it passed through the Channel and the North Sea.

Beijing made clear they were intent to impress by flaunting their military capabilities.

Naval expert Li Jie said: By sending its most advanced guided-missile destroyers, China is expressing its sincerity to Russia and also sends a strong signal to other countries who plan to provoke us.

The US and Britain are two Nato members closely monitoring the games, in the Baltic Sea off the coast of Kaliningrad, Russias heavily militarised enclave on the European mainline between Poland and Lithuania - both Nato members themselves.

The joint US European Command responded, saying: We are closely tracking Russian exercises with other participants like China.

While we support their rights to train in international commons, we expect all nations adhere to international norms and laws.

Recent actions by Moscow have inflamed tensions with the West and sparked fear among its neighbours who are wary of Russian aggression.

In particular the Baltic nations of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia are worried about Russias looming shadow, which has intensified since they annexed Crimea from Ukraine in 2014, leading to a bloody civil war.

Russias only territory within the EU, Kaliningrad has seen its weapons and defence system significantly upgraded.

Also the site where the Kremlin stations its Baltic Sea fleet, the 86 square mile post has recently seen two corvettes armed with Kalibr nuclear-capable missiles deployed there in October.

They were bolstered by the addition of the Iskander nuclear-capable missiles, which will be deployed there permanently alongside S-400 air defence systems.

And anti-ship missiles are stationed near the coast.

President Vladimir Putin and his counterpart Xi Jinxing cemented their firm friendship with a meeting in Moscow this month, both condemning the deployment of US missiles defence system THAAD in South Korea.

The pair met for the third time this year.

Yang Mian, from the Centre for International Relations at the Chinese Institute of Communications, said: The trend for the development of Chinese-Russian relations has been excellent in recent years, and favourable progress can be noted in military cooperation as well.

Earlier, the two countries conducted drills in various areas of the Pacific Ocean.

This time, the joint exercises in the Baltic Sea reflect the close cooperation between the two countries in the military sphere their mutual strategic support for one another.

In response to Russias growing military presence Nato members decided to deploy four multination battle-groups amounting to 4,500 boots on the ground.

They are primarily stationed in Poland, with Operation Summer Shield is designed as a show of strength against Russia and to dissuade it from any provocative actions.

A FORMER chief of the Australian Defence Force has claimed it is only a matter of time before Australia will be invaded, and we should be worried about rising tension in the Asia-Pacific region.

Admiral (ret.) Chris Barrie, was quoted in an analysis by the ABC, declaring Australia is plunging headlong into catastrophe and we are utterly unprepared ... The time-bomb is ticking and it will explode in our lifetimes.

He argued there are many trip-wires or points of tension in the region.

Chinas construction of artificial islands in the South China Sea is one of them, as is Americas unrelenting naval patrols leading China to officially protest a US defence bill on Monday, which could see American warships visiting Taiwan.

North Koreas missile program is another, with Japan calling on this United Nations this week to increase pressure on leader Kim Jong-un and grind testing to a halt.

The article described the region as a tinderbox, poised to descend into war.

This week, a Japanese diplomat called for action to stop North Korean leader Kim Jong-uns missile program, saying This is not a time for dialogue. Its a time for pressure. Picture: Wong Maye-ESource:AP

A miscalculation or misunderstanding ... could tip us over the edge, countries would be backed into corners and we have no way right now of talking our way out.

Its a grim prospect, but Ashley Townshend a research fellow at the University of Sydneys United States Studies Centre told news.com.au there is another possibility.

It all depends on the fragile balance of power that maintains the regions stability.

He agreed with the Admirals comments that miscalculations and misunderstandings between the major powers could be disastrous, but noted significant steps have been taken in the past few years to manage some of the risks.

There is a clear and sustained strategic competition taking place between the US and China in our backyard. But it is not preordained how this rivalry will work itself out, he said.

The US and China in particular have agreed to a number of military-to-military confidence-building measures that are designed to reduce the risk of an accidental clash between fighter aircraft or warships in the open seas and open skies, he said.

An increasing number of close encounters have recently prompted the two countries to adopt a much more conservative approach to one another.

These near misses really brought home for Beijing the inherent risks of military recklessness by their seamen and pilots. The good news is a number of rules-based agreements are being followed, and at some level this reduces the risk of an accidental clash, he said.

Thats not to say there wont be a deliberate provocation or a deliberate outbreak of hostilities. The entrenched disagreements in the East and South China Seas, on the Korean Peninsula, and between the US and China more broadly will all continue to cause friction.

However, Chinese island-building and frequent US patrols are two other potential sources of conflict. Picture: Centre for Strategic and International Studies.Source:Supplied

While war is one possibility, he argued its also entirely plausible the balance of power in the Asia-Pacific region will shift peacefully over time.

Mr Townshend said if both countries continue to be risk averse, there could be a gradual decrease in American strategic influence and a relative increase in Chinese geopolitical weight.

However, that may not be whats best for Australia.

A US-China confrontation I agree would be devastating, and that is certainly a potential future scenario. But another, and possibly more likely scenario is one where there is a slow erosion of US strategic power a slow changing of the guard without major conflict.

Its obviously in Australias interests to see peace prevail in the Asia Pacific, but we also have clear interests in an open, democratic and liberal regional order, and its unclear at this point whether our current trajectory will allow this order to prevail.

A HUGE row is brewing that threatens to spark war after Russia insulted Donald Trump in a very sly way.

The two superpowers are currently clashing after the United States seized Russian diplomatic property in New York and Maryland.

Then-US President Barack Obama ordered the seizure of two Russian diplomatic compounds and kicked out 35 diplomats from the country in response to alleged Kremlin hacking of the US election in 2016.

But an argument has erupted between the two countries after American officials attempted to set conditions for them to return the compounds to Russian control.

Moscow has said any attempts by Washington to hold onto the property goes against international law and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said it amounted to "daylight robbery".

We still hope that our American colleagues will demonstrate a certain political wisdom and political will

Mr Lavrov added that this disagreement and "anti-Russian" sentiment among Americans may mean the countries will not agree on key, global issues.

The Russian Deputy Foreign Minister, Sergei Ryabkov, is due to meet US Undersecretary of State, Thomas Shannon, today to discuss the matter.

But in a move that will likely spark fury in Washington, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov issued thinly-veiled insult at the President.

Apparently alluding to Trump, Mr Peskov said he hoped the US would be able to show some "political wisdom".

"We still hope that our American colleagues will demonstrate a certain political wisdom and political will," he remarked during a conference call.

We live in turbulent times. Trump has the keys to nuclear weapons, and could end work to prevent climate change. Putin is looming in the East, the far-right are on the rise in Europe and Kim Jong-un is developing nuclear weapons of his own. Is this the END of days?

Before his inauguration, Donald Trump asked a security expert three times during a briefing, why the US couldn't use nuclear weapons after he becomes president.

Trump's wisdom and intelligence have been frequently called into question by his critics after the President made a number of high-profile gaffes.

These have included referring to Mexican people as rapists and saying a US Senator John McCain is not a war hero because he was captured by the enemy and became a prisoner of war.

Mr Peskov refused to say what Russia will do if the US does return the seized property.

Russia hurls MAJOR insult Trump as diplomatic row threatens to spark WW3 - Daily Star

The successful launch from a remote rocket range near Woomera, in South Australia, helped staunch fears that China and Russia were racing ahead in a new hypersonic arms race, and concerns over increasingly hostile missile tests by North Korea.

The incredible speed would theoretically take a hypersonic glider from London to Australia in a little over one hour.

Although, the US has said the missiles will only carry conventional warheads, there are already fears other nations could use them to increase nuclear capabilities.

The hypersonic glider is capable of travelling at Mach8 - eight times faster than the speed of sound, from between 3,836mph (6,200kmh)to almost 8,000mph (13,000kmh).

The test was part of a project called the Hypersonic International Flight Research Experimentation Program (HIFiRE) involving the US and Australian militaries, Queensland University, Australias Defence Science and Technology Group and private companies, including Boeing and BAE Systems.

The date of the test earlier this month has not been released, however, a video of the launch was posted online a few days ago by the Faculty of Engineering, Architecture & Information Technology of the University of Queensland, which is a partner in HIFiRE.

Just weeks ago, in May, members of US Congress raised concerns that the US was trailing behind Russia and China in the development of hypersonic weapons capabilities.

US Navy Admiral Harry Harris, head of the US Pacific Command, said at a Congress hearing steps needed to be taken to counter any potential threat to the US from the advancement of the technology.

He said: "I'm concerned about Chinese and Russian hypersonic weapons development, and I expressed those concerns in the right places.

"What we can do is to develop our own hypersonic weapons and improve our defences against theirs."

Australian Defense Minister Marise Payne said the launch: takes us one step closer to the realisation of hypersonic flight.

She said it raised the military potential of Australia, as by having mastered the technology of hypersonic flight, the nation would be in a better place to respond to future threats.

There had been earlier launches under the 41m project, including those in Hawaii and Norway in 2012.

Mrs Payne said the latest launch was the end of the tests as part of the HiFiRE series.

I'm concerned about Chinese and Russian hypersonic weapons development, and I expressed those concerns in the right places.

US Navy Admiral Harry Harris

However, she added that Australia aims to maintain its position at the leading edge of hypersonic research and looks forward to arranging further hypersonic flight experiments with the US.

There are faster intercontinental ballistic missiles around, but the hypersonic glider has better maneuverability, and is less easily detected on approach.

BAE Systems Australia said in a statement that "the successful flight trial was the most complex of all HIFiRE flights conducted to date".

The US has said it will only use the missiles for conventional weapons.

Some experts fear once the technology is perfected, other nations will use them for nuclear warheads, and then the US will be forced to follow suit.

But that hasn't stopped a number of experts voicing concerns that other nations will use the technology to launch a nuclear strike.

Yousaf Butt, a nuclear physicist and visiting research fellow at the Center for Technology and National Security Policy, told the Huffington Post: "Washington had always intended for the new 'hypersonic boost-glide' weapons to remain purely conventional

"But Russia and China seem to be pursuing nuclear variants.

"If the hypersonic arms race heads in a nuclear direction, Washington may be pressured to follow."

So far in 2017 North Korea has fired 17 missiles, despite an outcry from the United States.

There are fears it could now even have the capability to fire a missile that could reach the US, potentially sparking World War 3.

They added the move was part of "routine exercises".

And Colonel Ren Guoqiang Guoqiang told Chinese media: It is legitimate for Chinese military planes to fly through the strait, and more similar training will be conducted on the high seas as needed.

The parties concerned dont need to overact and make a great fuss about it."

He added:They will feel better after getting used to such drills.

Japan has previously expressed its outrage at China flying into contested territories before.

It is just one of the tactics the superpower uses to assert its dominance in the region.

China deploys NUCLEAR BOMBERS over islands in major WW3 taunt - Daily Star

NORTH KOREA could fire a deadly nuke missile capable of wiping out entire cities along the US's west coast including Las Vegas.

Daily Star Online previously reported shock analysis from a missile expert that an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) could bypass US defence systems.

Now we can map the very cities it could wipe out after the boffin said the Hermit State is making an ICBM capable of travelling a massive 9,700km.

The expert, John Schilling, said that when all the bugs are worked out the missile will be able to blast US shores.

This means California could be thrown into the target zone, with the likes of San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego falling within the radius.

Crazy Kim Jong-uns nuke could also wipe out popular Brit gambling destination Las Vegas, which is 9,200km away in Nevada.

The expert predicts such a nuke is two years away from being produced, but if Kim succeeds, there are numerous other cities he could take aim at.

Tubby tyrant Kim Jong-un gloats as the world reacts to the news of his successful test of an intercontinental ballistic missile. As Trump took to Twitter to slam the secretive state, the world watches in fear: is this how WW3 starts?

Kim Jong-un watches as the missile launches

The likes of Seattle in Washington, Denver in Colorado, Portland in Oregon, Salt Lake City in Utah and Phoenix in Arizona also fall within the 9,700km zone.

We previously reported US defence chiefs fear the communist state is developing an ICBM capable of going as far as 8,000km.

But those fears were heightened when Kim test fired a Hwasong-14 ICBM into the Sea of Japan last week.

The North Koreans won't be able to achieve this performance tomorrow, but they likely will eventually

Writing for the 38 North website, aerospace engineer Mr Schilling said: If the Hwasong-14 is put together the way we think it is, it can probably do a bit better than that when all the bugs are worked out

The North Koreans won't be able to achieve this performance tomorrow, but they likely will eventually.

"A range of as much as 9,700 kilometers, approximately the distance from North Korean launch sites to the US naval base at San Diego, would be possible with a 500 kg payload.

To give an idea of just how far North Koreas planned missile could travel, the distance from the UK to Japan is 9,400km, and from the UK to Darwin, northern Australia, is 13,600km.
