China is planning to conduct live-fire exercises on Saturday in waters near Pingtan Island of Fujian province, which is opposite the self-governing island of Taiwan
The Pingtan Maritime Safety Administration issued a navigation warning about the drills late Thursday local time, prohibiting all ships from entering waters near the island and the southeastern province of Fujian. It said the"live-fire training missions" would take place from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.
" In a separate incident, Taiwan's Defense Ministry said it had detected an unidentified drone flying over Dongyin Island -- which is controlled by Taiwan but located near mainland China -- twice on Thursday, adding that it could not rule out that the drone was used to"gather intelligence" in the area.
