China increases military presence near Taiwan with 37 aircraft detected

Taiwan reported detecting 37 Chinese military aircraft, including fighter jets and drones, near the island on Sunday. This follows increased military activity by China, which has been conducting long-distance training flights. Of the detected aircraft, 35 crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait, entering Taiwanese airspace. Taiwan's military responded by deploying its own aircraft, naval vessels, and missile systems. This incident comes after Taiwan observed a Chinese military patrol involving 27 aircraft and six warships. China continues to assert its claim over Taiwan, which it views as part of its territory.
