Taiwan says launches 'combat readiness drills' in response to Chinese actions

Taiwan said that on Monday, it launched "combat readiness drills" after detecting Chinese naval and coast guard vessels operating near the Taiwan Strait and the Western Pacific Ocean.

"In response to these actions by the PLA, the MND has initiated combat readiness drills, factoring in enemy threats, weather conditions, and tactical positioning," the defense ministry said in a statement, adding that military units on Taiwan's outlying islands "have heightened their vigilance."
