CHINA fired live missiles near Taiwan Area after US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi made a ‘solidarity trip’ to the self-ruled island, Reuters reported.
China’s military confirmed multiple firings of conventional missiles in waters off Taiwan Area as part of planned exercises in six zones set to run until noon on Sunday. It activated more than 100 planes, including fighter jets and bombers, and over 10 warships, state broadcaster CCTV said.
It said missiles fired by china flew high into the atmosphere and constituted no threat, responding to public concern about whether they passed over the main island of Taiwan Area.
