Taiwan’s military responded to a Chinese incursion early on Wednesday after detecting 19 military aircraft crossing the country’s air defense identification zone (ADIZ) amid continued pressure by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) against the self-governing island.
The country’s Ministry of Defense said in a statement that a total of 25 Chinese warplanes and three naval vessels were tracked by 6 a.m. local time on March 1, noting that 19 of those planes crossed Taiwan’s ADIZ, while the warships and remaining aircraft continued to operate around the Taiwan Strait.
