TAIPEI - Taiwan’s air force scrambled for a second day in a row on Monday to intercept Chinese jets that approached the island claimed by Beijing as its own, as tensions between the two took on a potentially dangerous military dimension.
The Chinese aircraft then withdrew to the western side of the line, the ministry added, without identifying the jets. According to Taiwan’s official Central News Agency, the F-16s scrambled on Sunday carried live missiles. The DPP have been “adopting a stance that increases cross-strait confrontation, intensifying new moves for Taiwan-U.S. collusion, using the opportunity to seek independence and openly carrying out dangerous provocations”, it added.
