China on Thursday fired 11 ballistic missiles in the sea surrounding Taiwan during its largest-ever military drills following a visit by senior United States politician Nancy Pelosi to the island, the BBC reported.
China has been conducting military drills and sending fighter jets since Pelosi visited the country. On Wednesday, 27 Chinese fighter jets flew into Taiwan’s air defence zone, the island country’s defence ministry said on Thursday.
