Taiwan denounces China’s incursion into its air and maritime space

Dec. 31 (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Taiwan Ministry of Defense has reported this Saturday that nine combat planes and three Chinese Army ships have approached its air and sea space, as they have been doing repeatedly in recent days.

As detailed by the Defense portfolio in a statement, at least “9 planes and three ships of the People’s Liberation Army of China have been detected” in their surrounding region at 6:00 a.m. (local time).

Of the total fighter jets, two had entered the air defense identification zone in southwest Taiwan.

In response, the Taiwan Armed Forces have monitored the situation and assigned aircraft to conduct combat air patrols to protect the Taiwan area.

Navy ships and land-based missile systems have also been mobilized to respond to “these activities” by China, according to the Taiwanese Defense Ministry.

This new intrusion would take place after another 11 fighters and three Chinese ships entered Taiwan’s borders on December 28.
