The Taiwan Coast Guard on Saturday apprehended five people suspected of smuggling goods from the Kinmen island to China's shores. One of the arrested persons is a soldier in Taiwan's Army, Taiwan News reported.
The decision comes after two unidentified persons said they would deliver leaflets near the Mashan observation post on Kinmen to "send warmth to the Taiwanese troops".
Taiwanese army officials reported the discovery of propaganda flyers on Erdan island, allegedly dropped by Chinese troops citing, "Lai's Taiwan independence is a dead end."
