Taiwan pledged it won’t succumb to pressure from China after days of air and sea military drills in areas all around the island, with hostilities set to continue while world leaders urge an end to the strife.
The People’s Liberation Army said it conducted exercises around Taiwan on Sunday, with the drills focused on testing the capabilities of joint firepower on long-range air and ground strikes.
Taiwan said Sunday’s Chinese drills had again simulated attacks on its main island as well as Taiwanese ships. China also deployed drones near Taiwan’s outlying islands, the defence ministry said, adding it responded by sending airplanes and ships and monitored the situation through surveillance and reconnaissance.
The PLA flew 66 sorties on Sunday, including 22 that crossed the southwest air defense identification zone, the ministry said. Some 14 Chinese warships were detected around the Taiwan Strait as of 5pm local time. Separately, a drone was found approaching the restricted waters of the Kinmen area and was driven away by flares, Taiwan’s army said.
