Summary
Taiwan's Defense Ministry said 14 Chinese military aircraft, six naval vessels and eight other ships were detected around the island in the 24 hours to Saturday.
Eleven PLA aircraft crossed the Taiwan Strait median line, entering Taiwan's northern and southwestern air defense identification zones.
Taiwan responded by deploying aircraft, naval ships and coastal-based missile systems to monitor the activity.
So far in August, Taiwan has logged 71 Chinese military aircraft and 86 ships, part of what Taipei describes as Beijing's escalating gray-zone pressure campaign since 2020.
