TAIPEI: Taiwan\u0027s air force scrambled again on Sunday (Nov 28) to warn away 27 Chinese aircraft that entered its air defence zone, Taiwan\u0027s defence ministry said, the latest increase in tensions across the sensitive Taiwan Strait. Chinese-claimed Taiwan has complained for a year or more of repeated missions

TAIPEI: Taiwan's air force scrambled again on Sunday to warn away 27 Chinese aircraft that entered its air defence zone, Taiwan's defence ministry said, the latest increase in tensions across the sensitive Taiwan Strait.

Over a four-day period beginning on Oct 1, when China marked its national day, Taiwan said that nearly 150 PLA military aircraft entered its ADIZ, not territorial air space but a broader area Taiwan monitors and patrols that acts to give it more time to respond to any threats. The bombers and six of the fighters flew to the south of Taiwan into the Bashi Channel which separates the island from the Philippines, then out into the Pacific before heading back to China, according to a map the ministry provided.

EU moves to halt air travel from places with new COVID variantThe European Union might halt air travel from places where a new coronavirus variant detected in South Africa had spread, the bloc's executive said ahead of a meeting later on Friday of the 27 member states' envoys to decide the matter. Global authorities reacted with alarm on Friday to the new variant, with the EU and Britain among those tightening border controls as scientists sought to find out if the mutation was vaccine-resistant. 'The Commission will propose, in close coordination with Member States, to activate the emergency brake to stop air travel from the southern African region due to the variant of concern B.1.1.529,' said the executive's head, Ursula von der Leyen.
