As Typhoon Koinu's storm encircled majority of the country between 6 a.m. Wednesday (Oct. 4) and 6 a.m. Thursday (Oct. 5), Taiwan's Ministry of National Defence (MND) tracked one Chinese military aircraft and three navy vessels throughout the nation, Taiwan News reported.
Typhoon Koinu on Wednesday pounded Taiwan with heavy rain and winds. This led to the closure of businesses and schools in the east and triggered warnings in most parts of the island a day before its expected landfall, forecasters said, The New York Times reported.
