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.
