China again holds military drills around Taiwan

Taiwan's defense ministry on Sunday said that more than two dozen Chinese military aircraft and several naval vessels were detected near the island, which comes after a period with relatively few such incursions.

After decreased presence of Chinese incursions into the island's air defense identification zone (ADIZ) during the last two weeks, China sent 26 aircraft that were spotted around the island - 16 of which violated the ADIZ - and seven naval vessels sailed toward it, The Independent and The Wall Street Journal reported.
