Taipei: Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense (MND) has said it tracked seven Chinese military aircraft and three naval vessels around Taiwan between 6 am on Tuesday (March 7) and 6 am on Wednesday (March 8), media reports said.
In response, Taiwan sent aircraft, and naval ships and used land-based missiles to monitor the PLA aircraft and vessels, according to the MND, reports Taiwan News.
No PLA aircraft crossed the Taiwan Strait median line or entered the southwest corner of Taiwan’s air defense identification zone (ADIZ) during this time.
So far this month, Beijing has sent 122 military aircraft and 29 naval vessels around Taiwan. Since September 2020, China has increased its use of gray zone tactics by routinely sending aircraft into Taiwan’s ADIZ, the newspaper reported.
