Taiwan Reports 19 Chinese Aircraft Near Island, 15 Cross Strait Median Line

Taipei uses daily public updates to signal vigilance against Beijing’s grey‑zone pressure.

Overview

  • Taiwan’s defense ministry said it detected 19 PLA aircraft, seven PLAN vessels and two official ships by 6 a.m. local time on Saturday.
  • Fifteen of the 19 aircraft crossed the Taiwan Strait’s informal median line and entered the northern, central and southwestern sections of Taiwan’s ADIZ.
  • The ministry stated it monitored the activity and responded, without specifying the measures taken.
  • The latest tally follows Friday’s report of 11 aircraft, seven naval vessels and one official ship, with nine aircraft crossing the median line.
  • Consecutive daily incursions underscore sustained Chinese military pressure that Taipei publicly tracks through routine posts on X.
