Taipei, June 9 (CNA) Several Chinese Sukhoi Su-30 fighters and a U.S. C-40 Clipper military transport plane flew in Taiwan's airspace Tuesday morning, Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense (MND) has confirmed.

In a short statement issued at 12:30 p.m., the MND said several Chinese Su-30s briefly entered Taiwan's air defense identification zone southwest of Taiwan, and Taiwan's Air Force responded with radio warnings and monitored their movements until they flew off.

"The MND is fully aware of the situation in waters and airspace surrounding Taiwan and is taking active measures to protect our territory," the ministry said.

It did not provide any other details on the intrusion of the Chinese war planes, including how many were involved and exactly when the incident happened.    [FULL  STORY][
