19 Chinese jets cross midline of Taiwan Strait

For the second consecutive day, Taiwan's air force scrambled jets after as many as 19 Chinese aircraft crossed the midline of the Taiwan Strait. Despite the Taiwan Ministry of Defence urging the PRC to exercise restraint and refrain from escalating tensions, China's two H-6 bombers, eight J-16 fighters, four J-10 fighters and four J-11 fighters had crossed the midline.
