The authorities in Taiwan announced today (Sunday) that 66 Chinese planes entered the country's airspace as part of maneuvers by the Chinese army and navy near the country's borders, as part of the tremendous tensions in the region that followed the visit of the Speaker of the American House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, to Taipei last week.
The Taiwanese Ministry of Defense also reported that 14 Chinese warships were maneuvering in the Taiwan Strait, close to the country's territorial waters.
In addition, it is claimed that the Chinese Air Force carried out a simulated depth attack and practiced missile firing.
11 missiles were fired during the exercise, according to the Chinese Defense Ministry.
This is the fourth and last day of the Chinese war exercise, which is intended to simulate an amphibious invasion of the territory of the independent territory, which China considers an inseparable part of its territory and a rebel province.
During the exercise that began on Thursday, the Chinese military launched at least two missiles into the Taiwan Strait while dozens of helicopters circled over the nearby islands, a move that was interpreted in Taipei as an unjustified provocation and defined by the government as "irresponsible and illegal behavior," according to a spokesman for the local cabinet.
In Beijing, they confirmed that the purpose of the exercise is "a naval blockade, attack on naval targets, attack on ground targets and control of airspace" and forces from the Navy and Air Force, as well as missile and logistics units, participated in it.
On the other hand, Taiwan's military has raised the alert level.
