Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense announced it detected seven People's Liberation Army aircraft sorties, seven People's Liberation Army Navy vessels and two official ships operating around the island.
In a post on X, the ministry said three of the seven sorties crossed the median line and entered Taiwan's southwestern and eastern Air Defense Identification Zone.
The Republic of China Armed Forces said they monitored the situation and responded.
The tally follows other recent reports of Chinese military activity near Taiwan, including the 18 aircraft and 14 ships the ministry reported during August's Han Kuang exercises, when Taiwan's Navy and Coast Guard ran anti-blockade drills.
