China Air Force planes penetrated Taiwan's airspace today (Sunday) for the second day in a row, in the shadow of growing tensions in the region a few days into the new administration of US President Joe Biden.
China sees the Democratic island as part of its territory, and in recent months it has stepped up military activity near it.
However, China's airstrikes over the weekend were more aggressive after Beijing used fighter jets and bombers, instead of the spy planes it sent in recent weeks.
Taiwan said eight bombers and four Chinese fighter jets infiltrated their air defense zone yesterday, between the central island of Taiwan and the islands of the South China Sea that are under their control.
The Defense Ministry said that today 15 planes, including 12 fighter jets and three spy planes, infiltrated the same airspace and that the Taiwan Air Force was launched at them.
According to the announcement, the local air force sent warnings to the Chinese planes and the air defense systems monitored their activities.

Taiwan Defense Ministry announcement on Chinese intrusions
China has not yet responded to Taiwan's claims.
Following similar cases in the past, she said such actions were intended to protect her sovereignty, and to serve as a warning against "cooperation" between the United States and Taiwan.
The move may further worry Washington, which yesterday urged China to stop pressuring Taiwan and reiterated its commitment to the island and its desire to deepen ties.
"This is one of the only points where the current administration has continued from where it stopped former Republican President Donald Trump's administration
earlier today. Freedom of navigation ".
The United States, like most countries, has no official diplomatic ties with Taiwan, but is legally obligated to provide protection for the island, which split from China after the Communist victory in the 1949 civil war.
A State Department spokesman said yesterday that Washington's commitment to Taipei is "rock solid."
