A Chinese military helicopter was spotted entering Taiwan’s air defense identification zone (ADIZ) on May 15 in the latest incursion by the Chinese military this month, Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense said.

The ministry said in a statement that after the Chinese Z-9 anti-submarine warfare helicopter crossed into the ADIZ, Taiwan responded by issuing radio warnings and deploying air defense missile systems to track the Chinese helicopter.
