Taiwan said it detected 37 Chinese fighter jets, drones, and other aircraft near the self-ruled island on Sunday as Beijing carried out “long-distance” training flights.
China has ramped up military activity around Taiwan in recent years as Beijing pressures Taipei to accept its claims of sovereignty over the island.
The Chinese aircraft were spotted from 9:00 am (0100 GMT) and 35 of them crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait, which separates mainland China and Taiwan, and entered Taiwanese airspace on their way to the Western Pacific Ocean, the defense ministry said.
