According to Taiwan’s Ministry of Defense, 30 Chinese aircraft, including more than 20 fighter jets, have violated Taiwan’s so-called air defense zone. In response, the Taiwanese armed forces had mobilized aircraft and air defense systems to monitor activities in the airspace over the Pratas Islands. This is the second-largest maneuver of Chinese aircraft near Taiwan this year. On January 23, 39 aircraft had entered the air defense zone.
