China's Shandong aircraft carrier led a group of warships through the Taiwan Strait on Wednesday, Taiwan's Defense Ministry said.
Amid heightened tensions over the island China claims as its own, Taiwan's Defense Ministry said the Shandong, commissioned in 2019, had traveled in a southerly direction through the western part of the strait. In response to the move, the ministry said it had sent "appropriate forces" to monitor the activities.
