Taipei [Taiwan], April 10 (ANI): Amid growing aggression from China, Taiwan is planning to stage live-fire drills on the Dongsha Islands in the South China Sea later this month in preparation for a possible attack from the People s Liberation Army (PLA).
This comes amid reports the Chinese forces have sent drones to gather intelligence about the Taipei-controlled islets in the region, South China Morning Post (SCMP).
Aside from the live-fire drills, a recent threat by Taiwan s coastguard to shoot down any PLA drones sighted over Dongsha, could increase tensions in the region. The SCMP report said that the anti-landing drills would involve the use of shoulder-launched Kestrel rockets.
