Taipei: Taiwan detected 21 Chinese aircraft, six naval vessels and one official ship operating around its territory from 6 am (local time) on Friday to 6am (local time) on Saturday.
According to Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defence (MND), 17 of the People’s Liberation Army’s (PLA) aircraft crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait and entered Taiwan’s northern, southwestern, and eastern Air Defence Identification Zone (ADIZ).
Taiwan said in response to Chinese incursions, it has monitored the situation and responded accordingly.
“21 PLA aircraft, 6 PLAN vessels and 1 official ships operating around Taiwan were detected up until 6 a.m. (UTC+8) today. 17 of the aircraft crossed the median line and entered Taiwan’s northern and southwestern ADIZ. We have monitored the situation and responded accordingly,” Taiwan’s MND stated in a post on X.
This latest Chinese military activity adds to a series of similar provocations by Beijing in recent months. China has increased its military activities near Taiwan, including regular air and naval incursions into Taiwan’s ADIZ and military exercises near the island.
