Taipei, March 5 (CNA) The Ministry of National Defense (MND) reassured the public Tuesday that the ROC military is closely monitoring Taiwan’s air space and territorial waters, after news broke on Monday of Beijing’s latest bomber deployment.

The military is monitoring the situation and there is no reason to panic, military spokesman Chen Chung-chi (陳中吉) said.

His comments came after ImageSat International (ISI), an Israeli-based satellite imaging service provider, tweeted a picture Monday of four Xi’an H-6 strategic bombers at Xingning Airbase in Guangdong Province, which is only 450 kilometers from Taiwan.

It was the first time in several years the bombers have been spotted at the base, ISI added.
