The Chinese army has been conducting drills in the Taiwan Strait, the north, south and east of Taiwan Island, and areas around the islands of Kinmen, Matsu, Wuqiu, and Dongyin.

Taiwan's Ministry of Defence said that 19 of the aircrafts crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait and entered Taiwan's southwest sector and eastern air defence identification zone (ADIZ).
In a statement released on Tuesday, the Ministry said the ten PLA aircraft crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait, breaching the airspace's boundary, and entered into Taiwan's Southwestern Air Defence Identification Zone (SW ADIZ).
