Target Kinmen? Chinese Drones Penetrate Taiwan Island's Airspace For The First Time

Hours after U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi left Taipei after her controversial trip to the island, two Chinese drones breached Taiwan's airspace for the first time. Two People's Liberation Army (PLA) drones were spotted inside the airspace of Kinmen, an outlying Taiwanese island. Taiwan's Kinmen Defense Command announced two unidentified aircraft were spotted flying over Kinmen and Beiding islands Wednesday night at an altitude of about 2,000 meters. An analysis by the military determined they were unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), said Taiwan News, quoting an official statement. No Chinese military aircraft have conducted a flyover at Kinmen (alternatively known as Quemoy) since the 1950s.
