Taiwan tracked 23 Chinese military aircraft around the nation, the country\u2019s Ministry of National Defence said on Tuesday. It included fighter jets, transport aircraft, and drones. Out of these aircraft, 16 crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait. In a post on social media platform X, Taiwan MND wrote, \u201cOverall 23 PLA aircraft (J-16, Y-8, UAVs, etc.) were detected at 0820 hrs today. Out of which, 16 crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait and entered the north, central, and southwest parts of Taiwan\u2019s ADIZ in conducting joint combat patrol along with PLAN vessels.\u201d<\/p>\n
The median line notably bisects the Taiwan Strait in a way that separates the island from China, which Taiwan claims to be a part of its territory. The Chinese military aircraft were spotted right after China sent in 19 aircraft, eight naval vessels, and four Chinese coast guard ships around the self-governed island within 24 hours ending at 6 a.m. on Tuesday. \u201c19 PLA aircraft, 8 PLAN vessels, and 4 CCG vessels operating around Taiwan were detected today. 17 of the aircraft crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait and entered Taiwan\u2019s northern and SW ADIZ.<\/p>\n
