Taiwan raises alert level after detecting missile launches from China

Taiwan is on heightened alert after detecting multiple missile firings from China. The missile launches occurred in several provinces, including Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang, following China's recent test of an intercontinental ballistic missile. Taiwan's defense ministry stated that its military is closely monitoring the situation and maintaining high vigilance. This comes amid increasing military pressure from Beijing, which claims Taiwan as part of its territory. The missile firings follow China's first intercontinental ballistic missile test in decades, which drew regional protests. Taiwan condemned the test and called for Beijing to stop its military drills that escalate tensions.
