- On Sunday, Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense detected six Chinese naval vessels and an official ship operating around its territorial waters as of 6 a.m. .
- Amid sustained pressure, analysts note that this month the defense ministry tracked Chinese military aircraft 99 times and ships 142 times, reflecting increased PLA gray-zone tactics.
- Earlier on Saturday the MND reported two PLA sorties and eight PLAN vessels, with one sortie crossing the median line into Taiwan's eastern part ADIZ; Taiwan deployed aircraft, naval ships, and coastal missile systems to respond, the ROC Armed Forces said.
