The Ministry of National Defense announced on June 29 that from six in the morning on June 28 to six in the morning on June 29, Chinese military aircraft were active in the surrounding airspace of the Taiwan Strait, with a total of 23 sorties. Among them, 10 sorties involved Chinese main combat aircraft, drones, and helicopters approaching the northern airspace, with 7 sorties crossing the median line of the Taiwan Strait, with the closest aircraft coming within 40 nautical miles of Keelung. This occurred amid the launch of the world's largest naval exercise, RIMPAC 2024, in Hawaii and the conclusion of the US-Japan-Philippines military exercise, Valiant Shield 2024, with China's military pressure on Taiwan seen as a display of muscle amidst tensions in the region.
