(2nd UPDATE) Taiwan's Defense Ministry says that in the past 24 hours it had spotted 71 Chinese air force aircraft and nine navy vessels around Taiwan.
TAIPEI, Taiwan – China’s military simulated precision strikes against Taiwan in a second day of drills around the island on Sunday, April 9, with the island’s defense ministry reporting multiple air force sorties and that it was monitoring China’s missile forces.
A source familiar with the security situation in the region told Reuters that China had been conducting simulated air and sea attacks on “foreign military targets” in the waters off Taiwan’s southwestern coast. “Regarding the movements of the Chinese communists’ Rocket Force, the nation’s military also has a close grasp through the joint intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance system, and air defence forces remain on high alert,” the ministry said.
Zhao Xiaozhuo of China’s Academy of Military Sciences told the Chinese state-backed Global Times newspaper this was the first time China had openly talked of simulated attacks on targets in Taiwan. The de facto US embassy in Taiwan said on Sunday the United States was monitoring China’s drills around Taiwan closely and is “comfortable and confident” it has sufficient resources and capabilities regionally to ensure peace and stability.
