Overview

• Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defence reported 11 PLA aircraft, 7 PLAN vessels and 1 official ship operating near the island up to 6 a.m. local time Friday.
• Nine of the 11 aircraft crossed the Taiwan Strait’s informal median line into Taiwan’s northern air defense identification zone.
• The ministry said its forces monitored the activity and responded accordingly.
• A day earlier, the MND logged 1 PLA aircraft and 5 PLAN vessels, with the single aircraft entering the northern ADIZ.
• Officials regularly publish these tallies as China maintains its one‑China claim and Taiwan continues to govern itself.
