Taiwan reports increased Chinese military activity near its coasts
(MENAFN) Taiwan's Defense Ministry reported a significant surge in Chinese military activity, detecting 47 aircraft as well as 7 naval ships, along with an official vessel, operating in the vicinity of the island.
Notably, 41 of these aircraft breached the median line and entered Taiwan's air defense identification zone (ADIZ) in the northern, southwestern, and eastern regions.
The ministry reported that the activities were observed until 6 a.m. local time (2200 GMT), stating that they “employed aircraft, navy ships and coastal missile systems in response to detected activities.”
An air defense identification zone (ADIZ) is a defined region of international airspace that extends beyond a country's territorial boundaries, within which aircraft are required to identify themselves for national security considerations.
China, asserting its claim over Taiwan as a renegade province, disputes the legitimacy of the median line and Taiwan's air defense zone. On the other hand, Taipei has continuously claimed its independence as of 1949.
