The Taiwan defense ministry says it spotted 12 Chinese military aircraft in its air defense identification zone, of which seven crossed the median line – six J-10 fighters and a single drone
TAIPEI, Taiwan – Taiwan’s defense ministry warned on Tuesday, August 29, of a possible “sharp increase” in military tensions after reporting renewed Chinese military activity including fighter jets crossing the sensitive median line of the Taiwan Strait.
Five Chinese ships also carried out “combat readiness patrols”, the ministry said, without giving a location. Maintaining the peaceful and stable status quo in the Taiwan Strait is critical to the security and prosperity of the Indo-Pacific region, and all parties, including Beijing, have a common responsibility to uphold it, the ministry added.
