2:05Now PlayingThe Chinese military said on Monday that it organized multiple forces for a joint drill around the Taiwan Strait and the island's northern, southern, and eastern regions.
Taiwan's Ministry of Defense has claimed that 16 of the 25 military aircraft observed crossed the "median line" in the Taiwan Strait, an unofficial boundary assumed to separate the areas of influence between both sides.
Following the violation claim, Taiwanese Air Force fighter jets took off from Hsinchu Air Base and patrolled the area.
According to Li Xi, spokesman for the Eastern Theater Command of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA), the Joint Sword-2024B exercises involved vessels and aircraft approaching Taiwan from multiple directions and carrying out drills of joint force attacks.
The exercises focused on improving sea-air combat readiness, blocking key ports, targeting land and sea objectives, and gaining comprehensive battlefield control, said a statement released by the PLA.
