TAIPEI, Taiwan—Taiwan says that 27 Chinese aircraft entered its air defense buffer zone on Nov. 28, the latest in a long series of incursions as part of Beijing’s effort to put pressure on the self-ruled island.
The Taiwan Defense Ministry said it scrambled combat aircraft to “warn” the Chinese planes to leave Taiwanese airspace. It also deployed missile systems to monitor them. The Nov. 28 incursion included 18 fighter jets and five H-6 bombers, as well as a Y-20 aerial refueling aircraft, according to the ministry.
