Taiwan detects 6 Chinese naval vessels operating around its territory

Taiwan's defence ministry reported six Chinese navy vessels encircling the island early Wednesday, a day after a similar sighting. Taipei is bolstering its defences, planning to significantly expand its anti-ship missile stockpile by 2029. This comes as Taiwan's first domestically built submarine begins new sea trials, underscoring its commitment to national security amidst ongoing regional tensions.
