China & Taiwan ships in stand-off near sensitive buffer zone
The Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) has simulated several precision strikes against "key targets on the island of Taiwan and surrounding sea areas", state broadcaster CCTV reported on Sunday.
The action is part of military exercises that began on Saturday and are scheduled to continue until Monday.
Taiwan's defence ministry registered 70 fighter jets and 11 ships from the Chinese military by 4pm on Sunday (9am BST). Of these, 35 aircraft had entered Taiwan's south-western air defence identification zone. This is a buffer zone between the island state and the People's Republic of China.
