The Taiwanese Ministry of Transport said that the “ban on flying and navigation” in six of the 7 areas around the island, designated off-limits following the maxi military exercises wanted by China, has ceased today starting from noon, thus noting that the operations of the People’s Liberation Army are coming to an end.
The ban on the seventh zone, in the waters east of Taiwan, will remain in force until 10 am local time (4 in Italy) on Monday 8 August. “Flights and departures can resume,” added the ministry, signaling a gradual return to normal for transport.
Meanwhile, Taiwan will organize two “live-fire”, live-fire, large-scale artillery drills in the south of the island this week to test its combat readiness in the face of growing military threats from Beijing. This was announced by the armed forces of Taipei. Military units involved include the Artillery Command, the Infantry Troops stationed in Pingtung, the Hualien Defense Command and the Island Coast Guard. In addition, 78 locally developed light mortars and six US-made howitzers will have been used for both air and sea shooting tests.
