Taiwan scrambled jets Wednesday morning in response to over two dozen warplanes and three ships entering their defense zone from China.
The Ministry of Defense announced that 25 warplanes and three ships approached Taiwan in the early hours of the morning.
According to the ministry, 19 of the planes fully entered the island's air defense identification zone.
Taiwan reacted aggressively by scrambling fighters and activating missile defense systems in preparation of an attack. Warships were also dispatched.
However, the Chinese invaders left the area well before engagement and returned to the mainland.
These sorts of intentional false flag operations have become a recurring nuisance to Taiwan as the Chinese Communist Party continues its careful and strategic campaign to bring the island to heel.
Taiwan, also known as the Republic of China, is an island off the coast of the Asian mainland. Taiwan has long declared itself independent of the People's Republic of China and has claimed continuation of governance from the pre-revolutionary Chinese state.
