This is the second time in less than a week that Taiwan has reported renewed Chinese military activity.
The island’s Defence Ministry said four Chinese ships also carried out combat patrols, but gave no further details.
In a short statement, Taiwan’s Defence Ministry said that as at 2pm on Sunday, it had detected 24 Chinese air force planes, including J-10, J-11, J-16 and Su-30 fighters, as well as H-6 bombers. In April, China held war games around Taiwan following a trip to the US by Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen. While not the largest number of incursions in 2023 – that would be 45 sorties on April 9 – last Thursday’s surge occurred over a much more compressed timeframe.
