TAIPEI—China’s air force approached Taiwan on June 19 for the fourth time in four days, Taiwan’s military said, as China steps up maneuvers near the island that Beijing claims as its own territory.

Taiwan’s air force said a J-10 fighter jet was involved in the approach but did not say whether only one aircraft or more had entered Taiwan’s air defense identification zone to the island’s southwest around midday (0400 GMT).
