In a brief statement that contained no specific details, the PLA's Eastern Theatre Command said warships, anti-submarine aircraft and fighter jets had been dispatched close to Taiwan to carry out "joint fire assault and other drills using actual troops".
Taiwan's Defence Ministry gave a brief response, saying: "The nation's military has a full grasp and has made a full assessment of the situation in the Taiwan Strait region, as well as related developments at sea and in the air, and is prepared for various responses".
A senior official familiar with Taiwan's security planning said China's air force had carried out a "capturing air supremacy" drill, using their advanced J-16 fighters.
