Taiwan says it drove away suspected drones near heavily fortified Kinmen islands amid high tensions with China sparked by Nancy Pelosi's controversial visit
Drones may have been intended to gather intelligence on Taiwan's security deployment in its outlying islands, a Taiwanese official says.
"We immediately fired flares to issue warnings and to drive them away. After that, they turned around. They came into our restricted area and that's why we dispersed them," he said. Chang said he believed the drones were intended to gather intelligence on Taiwan's security deployment in its outlying islands.
Earlier this week, several government websites, including the presidential office, were subject to overseas cyber attacks, some of which authorities said were launched by China and Russia.High tensions in volatile region
