Taiwan raises alert after missile launches detected in inland China

Taiwan's Defense Ministry announced heightened alertness on September 29 after detecting multiple missile launches in inland China. This follows China's recent successful test of an intercontinental ballistic missile. The missile activity was observed in regions far from Taiwan, including Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang. Taiwan's air defense forces are closely monitoring the situation and maintaining a high level of vigilance. China's military stated that its activities around Taiwan are legitimate and will continue. Taiwan has previously raised concerns over increased Chinese military drills near the island.
