Taiwan has scrambled jets to warn away 29 Chinese aircraft that entered an air defense zone, including bombers that flew to the south of the island and into the Pacific. The incursion by Chinese warplanes is the latest uptick in tensions between Taipei and Beijing and marks the largest air defense zone violation by China since late May. Taiwan sent fighter aircraft to warn away the Chinese planes, while missile systems were deployed to monitor their route.
