Taiwan's Ministry of National Defence recently tracked seven Chinese naval vessels and five military aircraft around Taiwan between Sunday and Monday, media reports said.
Of the five People’s Liberation Army (PLA) aircraft, one flew into the southwest corner of Taiwan’s air defense identification zone (ADIZ), according to the MND, reported Taiwan News.
During that time, no PLA aircraft crossed the Taiwan Strait median line.
