Five Chinese military planes entered Taiwan’s air defence identification zone (ADIZ) on Tuesday, marking the ninth intrusion this month, local media reported.
Four People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) Shenyang J-16 fighter jets and one Shaanxi Y-8 anti-submarine warfare plane flew into the southwest corner of the ADIZ, Taiwan news reported citing the country’s Ministry of National Defense (MND).
In response, Taiwan sent aircraft, issued radio warnings, and deployed air defence missile systems to track the planes.
A total of 35 Chinese planes have been spotted in Taiwan’s identification zone so far this month, including 23 fighter jets and 12 spotter planes, Taiwan News reported.
