Taipei: Two US warships have sailed through the Taiwan Strait, Taipei’s defence ministry said, in an operation bound to provoke a rebuke from Beijing.
The ships entered the strait from the southwest on Wednesday, according to a short ministry statement yesterday which did not identify the vessels.
US warships periodically conduct “freedom of navigation” exercises in the waterway separating the Chinese mainland and Taiwan, angering Beijing each time.Local media said Wednesday was the fifth time US warships traversed the strait this year.
