Taiwan Reports Increased Chinese Military Activity Near Its Territory
Taiwan's Ministry of National Defence reported detecting 20 sorties of various Chinese PLA aircraft and the presence of six PLAN vessels and five official ships near its territory. Twelve sorties crossed the median line into Taiwan's northern, central, and southeastern ADIZ during joint combat readiness patrols and air-sea drills. Taiwan's armed forces monitored and responded to these activities. Experts note an unprecedented increase in Chinese coast guard and research vessels around Taiwan, with data from civilian research potentially aiding China's military operations.
