China has launched military drills around Taiwan, deploying warships and fighter jets as a warning to Taiwan's independence movement. The United States called these actions "unwarranted" and urged restraint, warning of possible escalation. Taiwan’s President Lai Ching-te vowed to protect the island's sovereignty, as the drills took place to the north, south, and east of the island. Taiwan's defense ministry responded with appropriate forces. China described the drills as necessary to safeguard its sovereignty. The situation remains tense, with both sides closely monitoring each other.
