EN： Headlinese (Newspaper Headline Style): In news headlines, the simple present tense ('Forces') is frequently used instead of the past tense or present perfect to describe recent events, creating a sense of immediacy and urgency. Articles ('the', 'a') are also often omitted before nouns (e.g., 'PHP Flaw' instead of 'A PHP flaw').
