China on Wednesday commenced military drills around Taiwan’s main island, according to Chinese state media, hours after US House Speaker departed from Taipei following a visit that has rankled Beijing.
Live-fire drills began in six identified zones around the island at noon local time, Al Jazeera reported citing China state media.
According to Xinhua News Agency, the Eastern Theater Command of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) on Wednesday organized joint combat training exercises in the northern, southwestern and southeastern waters and airspace off Taiwan Island.
Under the Eastern Theater Command, the exercises involved troops from the Navy, Air Force, Rocket Force, Strategic Support Force and Logistic Support Force.
“The exercises focused on key training sessions including joint blockade, sea target assault, strike on ground targets, and airspace control operation, and the joint combat capabilities of the troops got tested in the military operations,” Xinhua added.
Responding to a question about the PLA’s decision to kick off the drills two days after Pelosi’s arrival, a military expert said that the arrangement shows the army’s rational and responsible attitude as it leaves time for domestic and foreign civilian ships and airlines to evacuate their ships and adjust their flights, Global Times reported.
Zhang Junshe, a senior research fellow at the Naval Research Academy of the People’s Liberation Army, said that the drills include long-range live-fire shooting and conventional missile test launches.
As per the international conventions, areas of military drills have to be disclosed three days in advance and 24 hours in advance under an emergency situation.
” That is mainly to leave enough time for domestic and foreign ships to evacuate as well as for related civilian airlines to adjust their routes to avoid the areas. The move is intended to avoid hurting ordinary people during the drills, showing the rational and responsible attitude of the PLA,” Zhang said as quoted by Global Times.
Taiwan’s defence ministry said that an unidentified aircraft flew above the Kinmen Islands, Taiwanese territory off China’s southeastern coast, on Wednesday night and it had fired flares in response.

Launching a scathing attack on the prime minister, former Congress president Rahul Gandhi Thursday said he is ”not afraid of Narendra Modi” and will not be ”intimidated” by the Enforcement Directorate’s action in the National Herald case.
Gandhi’s reaction came a day after the ED sealed the office of Young Indian in Herald House in the national capital, and the Delhi police briefly barricaded his residence and the party office here.
Gandhi termed these actions an ”attempt at intimidation”.
”We will not be intimidated. We are not afraid of Narendra Modi,” he told reporters outside Parliament. ”They may do whatever they want. It does not matter.” ”I will continue to work to protect the country and democracy and maintain harmony in the country. I will continue to do my work whatever they may do,” he said in his first response after the ED sealed the Young Indian office.
On the barricading issue, he said ”truth cannot be barricaded”, and added his party will continue to protest. The former Congress chief said the BJP government thinks its can ”silence us by putting some pressure on us”. ‘
‘But we will not be silenced,” he said. ”What Narendra Modi and Amit Shah are doing in this country and against democracy, we will stand against it whatever they may do. It does not matter.”
Amid threats from various terror organizations warning of disrupting the Independence Day celebrations, the Delhi Police has decided to install more than 1,000 Internet Protocol (IP) based CCTV cameras in and around Red Fort here.
On Thursday, the Intelligence Bureau (IB) issued an alert for possible attacks by Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) ahead of the 75th Independence Day celebration on August 15.

These 20 percent CCTV cameras of IP-based 4-megapixel will be installed at the strategic locations which will be intimated by DCP concerned at the time of installation and the rest 80 per cent locations will be covered by IP-based 2-mega pixel CCTV cameras.
These cameras will be installed at New Delhi District, North District, South-East, Central District, Security Unit and North West District.
A large number of cameras will be installed in the North district and Central district that covers the periphery of Red Fort, where Independence Day celebrations with be held.
These IP-based cameras will be equipped with features like face detection, people movement detection, tripwire, audio detection, intrusion, defocus, abandoned/missing object and will provide Full HD 1080P live view of the locations.
It will also share data on a real-time basis for face recognition server for better detection, these cameras will incorporate a built-in 30X optical, auto-focus zoom lens, and will have 12X digital zoom capability.
The camera should have inbuilt Infra Red (IR) and cover distance up to 150 metres for better viewing during night, the document reads.

They also entered the Red Fort and unfurled their flags from its ramparts.
Uddhav move on BMC wards was ‘undemocratic’ alleges Congress and BJP 10
The Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena opposed the new government’s decision and may move the Bombay high court. Former MP Milind Deora, who had last week led a Congress delegation to deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis to demand scrapping of the Thackeray government’s move, tweeted on Tuesday, “A big victory for Mumbai Congress and the people of Mumbai.
The state government has nullified the brazenly undemocratic ward-wise delimitation orchestrated by the Shiv Sena. It was an insult to MVA’s coalition dharma as well as to ordinary Mumbaikars.”
Deora had earlier alleged that the ward boundaries and reservations put in place by the Thackeray-led government were “politically motivated.” Both the Congress and BJP welcomed the Shinde-Fadnavis government’s decision to reverse the MVA government’s move to increase the number of electoral wards in the BMC from 227 to 236.
The Congress had demanded that the move be scrapped and the ward boundaries should go back to those in 2017.

China sent 27 aircraft to Taiwan’s air defense identification zone (ADIZ), the island’s Defence Ministry said on Wednesday hours after US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi left Taipei following a high-stakes visit that has spiked tensions in the Taiwan Strait.
As many as six J-11 fighter jets, five J-16 multirole fighters, and 16 SU-30 multirole fighters entered the air defense zone today. “27 PLA aircraft (J-116, J-165, and SU-30*16) entered the surrounding area of R.O.C. on August 3, 2022,” Taiwan Defense Ministry tweeted.
This incursion after 21 Chinese military aircraft flew into the southwestern part of Taiwan’s air defense zone on Monday night. In response to Chinese aggression, Taiwan sent an air patrol to monitor the situation and deployed anti-aircraft missile systems.
Pelosi’s trip to Taiwan ended today as she departed from the self-ruled island after a short and gripping trip that upped the ante in the Taiwan Strait.
The US House Speaker, who is second in line to the Oval Office after the US vice president, reaffirmed her country’s unwavering commitment to supporting Taiwan’s democracy and said this trip in no way contradicts longstanding United States policy on the self-governed island.
China, meanwhile, says Pelosi’s Taiwan visit was a severe violation of the one-China principle and the provisions of the joint communique signed between the two countries.
On Tuesday, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) announced missile tests and live firing as part of its military operations near Taiwan.
“The Chinese armed forces will begin military operations around Taiwan, long-range live firing will be held in the Taiwan Strait, and conventional missile tests will be organized in the sea area of the eastern part of the island,” Sputnik news agency quoted Eastern Theater Command spokesperson Shi Yi as saying.
“These actions are a fair deterrent to the recent major escalation of US negative actions on the Taiwan issue and a serious warning to the pro-Taiwan independence forces,” Shi Yi said.
In the recent past, China has increased its use of gray zone tactics by routinely sending aircraft into Taiwan’s ADIZ, with most occurrences taking place in the southwest corner.
In 2021, Chinese military planes entered Taiwan’s ADIZ on 961 instances over 239 days. Gray zone tactics are defined as “an effort or series of efforts beyond steady-state deterrence and assurance that attempts to achieve one’s security objectives without resort to direct and sizable use of force.
