Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defence (MND) said that seven Chinese military aircraft, 14 naval vessels and three official ships were detected operating around Taiwan until 6 am (local time) on Sunday.
Of the seven People’s Liberation Army (PLA) aircraft, six aircraft crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait and entered Taiwan’s north, southwestern Air Defence Identification Zone (ADIZ), according to Taiwan’s MND.
In response to China’s action, Taiwan sent aircraft and naval ships and deployed coastal-based missile systems to monitor PLA activity.
Sharing a post on X, MND wrote, “7 PLA aircraft, 14 PLAN vessels and 3 official ships operating around Taiwan were detected up until 6 a.m. (UTC+8) today. 6 of the aircraft crossed the median line and entered Taiwan’s southwestern ADIZ. We have monitored the situation and responded accordingly.”
