Chinese fighter jets briefly entered Taiwan's airspace, prompting the island's air force to issue verbal warnings and "active responses" to drive away the intruders, the Taiwanese defence ministry has said.
The Su-30 fighters, some of China's most advanced jets, entered Taiwan's air defence identification zone to its southwest on Tuesday, according to a statement. The fighters were given verbal warnings to leave, after which Taiwanese air force jets drove them away, the ministry added.
