Taiwan details record surge in Chinese warplanes involved in war games
Taiwan's defence ministry on Tuesday detailed the surge in Chinese warplane activity around the island during war games the previous day, saying it had detected a record 153 Chinese military aircraft.
China held a single day of what it called "Joint Sword-2024B" drills on Monday as a warning to «separatist acts», following last week's national day speech by Taiwan President Lai Ching-te that Beijing denounced.
In its daily update on Chinese military activity around the island in the previous 24 hours, Taiwan's defence ministry said it spotted 153 Chinese military aircraft, updating a figure given on Monday evening of 125 which it had already said was a record high for a single day.
Of those aircraft, 28 crossed the sensitive median line of the Taiwan Strait, according to a map the ministry released, which had previously served as an unofficial barrier and which China says it does not recognise.
Other areas of activity included off Taiwan's southeastern coast, home to a major Taiwanese air base, and to the southwest of Taiwan at the top part of the South China Sea where the Taiwan-controlled Pratas Islands are located.
