Taiwan reported Thursday that it had detected 45 Chinese military aircraft near the island, the highest number recorded this year. The surge in activity follows Taiwan’s condemnation of China's "live-fire" drills conducted off its southern coast.
According to Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense, between 6:00 am Wednesday and 6:00 am Thursday (2200 GMT on Wednesday), 45 Chinese aircraft and 14 warships were spotted near Taiwan.
This marks the highest number of Chinese aircraft detected since December 11, according to an AFP tally.
