Taiwan’s Defence Ministry on Thursday, said it registered 32 Chinese military aircraft in its airspace within 24 hours.
Among the detected aircraft, 20 of them crossed the median line of the Taiwan Strait and entered Taiwan’s south-western, south-eastern and eastern air space, the ministry said.
The ministry said it had also detected five vessels.
Taiwan had tasked Combat air patrol aircraft, Navy vessels, and land-based missile systems to respond to these activities, the ministry said.
Taiwan regularly reported such actions by Chinese forces.
This year’s record number of Chinese aircraft daily sorties, 33, was seen shortly after Taiwan held its democratic presidential and legislative elections in January.
Taiwan has had an independent government since 1949 but China considers the self-ruled democracy part of its territory.
