PLA continues combat exercises around Taiwan

The People's Liberation Army's Eastern Theater Command has continued to carry out combat exercises around Taiwan on Saturday, the command said in a news release.

The inter-service exercises took place in the air and waters off the northern, southwestern and eastern coasts of Taiwan and demonstrated the forces' land and sea strike capabilities, it said.

The command has been conducting live-fire drills surrounding Taiwan since late Tuesday after the arrival of United States House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in Taiwan.
