Tensions in the Taiwan Strait reached their highest level in decades and continue to rise as the Taiwanese defence ministry announced on Thursday (August 18) that over 50 Chinese military aircraft were detected in operation around the island.
The defence ministry wrote on Twitter: "6 PLAN vessels and 51 PLA aircraft around our surrounding region were detected today (August 18, 2022) until 1700(GMT+8)."
