Taiwan reports Chinese balloons crossing sensitive median line; raises security concerns | Oneindia
In the latest developments in the ongoing tensions between Taiwan and China, a Chinese balloon was detected moving across the sensitive median line separating the two countries.
Taipei's Ministry of National Defence reported on December 19th that this marks the third time such an incident has occurred this month.
The self-ruled island of Taiwan, which China claims as its territory, has been on high alert due to these provocative actions.
Taiwan detected 37 Chinese military aircraft, including fighter jets and drones, near its airspace, with 35 crossing the median line of the Taiwan Strait. In response, Taiwan deployed aircraft, naval vessels, and shore-based missiles. The incident follows recent Chinese military drills and heightened defense patrols. China frames these maneuvers as defense measures, raising tensions as Beijing views Taiwan as a breakaway province, intensifying regional concerns over potential conflict.
