Eleven missiles launched by China towards Taiwan as the military prepares for war. It is noted that Chinese military exercises around Taiwan are ongoing, according to Chinese state media. At noon local time, state broadcaster CCTV reported: “Six important areas around the island have been designated by the Chinese military, and during this period all ships and aircraft should not enter the relevant sea areas and the airspace”.

The six identified zones surround the island, while some are located near key ports. Taiwan’s defense ministry said its armed forces were monitoring the environment. “We do not seek any escalation, but we do not back down when it comes to our security and sovereignty,” the ministry said.

The Associated Press spoke to residents in the city of Keelung as they went swimming in the Taiwan Strait, near where China says it carried out “precision missile strikes” as part of military exercises.

The military high schools have raised tension in the region to the highest level in decades.

“Taiwan will not provoke conflicts, but will vigorously defend its sovereignty and national security,” President Tsai Ing-wen said in response to Chinese military high schools near the island.
