China has sent 15 military aircraft and 13 ships to the Taiwan Strait in the past 24 hours. This was reported by Taipei's Ministry of Defense, specifying that two planes entered the Air Defense Identification Zone (ADZ), an area in which a government claims the right to monitor approaching aircraft. It is not part of airspace as defined by international law, reports A2.
Taiwan sent patrol fighter jets and naval vessels and deployed land-based air defense missile systems to monitor PLA activity.
Since early December, the ministry has detected 300 Chinese aircraft and 205 ships near the island, whose sovereignty is claimed by the Communist Party.
Since September 2020, Beijing has increased its use of "gray zone tactics" by operating military aircraft and naval vessels around Taiwan.
