From 'South China Morning Post':

Taiwan’s air force scrambled on Sunday in response to renewed mainland Chinese military activity, with its defence ministry reporting that 19 aircraft including nuclear-capable bombers had flown into Taiwan’s air defence identification zone.

The latest PLA mission involved 10 J-16 and four Su-30 fighters, as well as four H-6 bombers, which can carry nuclear weapons, and an anti-submarine aircraft, Taiwan’s defence ministry said.

Taiwanese combat aircraft were sent to warn away the PLA aircraft, while missile systems were deployed to monitor them, the ministry said.
