Taiwan's Defence Ministry is on alert after detecting multiple missile launches in inland China. This follows China's recent successful test of an intercontinental ballistic missile. The missile activity was noted in regions far from Taiwan. The ministry reported that the missile firings began early Sunday morning, with Taiwan's forces maintaining high vigilance. This comes amid increased Chinese military activity around Taiwan, which Taiwan views as a threat. China's military has stated that its drills are legitimate and will continue. Taiwan has previously raised concerns about Chinese military exercises, particularly after significant events like U.S. political visits.
