Taiwan's military tracked a fresh wave of Chinese warships and aircraft near the island, a routine but tense show of pressure from Beijing.

• Taiwan's defense ministry detected 7 Chinese warships, 2 government ships, and 32 Chinese aircraft over a 24-hour period.
• Of those aircraft, 26 crossed the midline of the Taiwan Strait, pushing into the north, central, southwest, and east air zones.
• Taiwan's military responded with ships, aircraft, and land-based missile systems to monitor and handle the incursions.

Outlook: These incursions have become a near-daily pattern, and no change is expected unless cross-strait tensions ease or escalate sharply.
