Taiwan has deployed fighter jets after 30 warplanes sent by China entered into its air defence zone
The incident marked the biggest incursion since January.
China has increased the frequency of its air missions in recent months, claiming they are training drills.
The latest incident included 22 fighters, as well as electronic warfare, early warning and antisubmarine aircraft, according to Taiwan’s defence ministry.
The aircraft flew in an area to the northeast of the Pratas Islands that is part of the Taiwan’s air defence identification zone.
China sees Taiwan as a breakaway province, which it can take by force if necessary.
