"20 sorties of PLA aircraft and 5 PLAN vessels operating around Taiwan were detected up until 6 a.m. (UTC+8) today. 14 out of 20 sorties crossed the median line and entered Taiwan's southwestern ADIZ.

Taiwan is intensively reviewing and reforming its <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/world-news/article/taiwan-reports-chinese-aircraft-five-naval-vessels-near-its-waters-23595697" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">military</a> and national security framework to counter China's persistent efforts to infiltrate.
Meanwhile, Taiwan's Presidential Office accused China of stoking tensions with Japan for political advantage, hours after Chinese maritime authorities announced plans for live-fire missile exercises in the Yellow Sea.
China's <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/world-news/article/taiwan-tracks-chinese-military-presence-near-territorial-waters-23585552" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Maritime</a> Safety Administration issued a navigation alert stating that the People's Liberation Army would carry out missile launches with live munitions in the central Yellow Sea from Tuesday through Thursday, as reported by The Taipei Times.
According to The Taipei Times, China also released a travel warning, claiming Chinese nationals in Japan faced rising criminal risks, an advisory widely seen as retaliation for comments made by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi.
Tension between China and Japan has sharply escalated after Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi made strong remarks in parliament early this month about a possible security threat from China over Taiwan. Beijing has now taken the matter to the <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/world-news/article/us-president-donald-trump-calls-japanese-pm-sanae-takaichi-23604909" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">United Nations</a>, accusing Japan of making "erroneous" statements, Global Times reported.
