Taiwan fires live rounds at drones near outlying islands

Taiwan has fired warning shots for the first time to drive back drones that flew over its outlying islands near China.

Taiwan's defence ministry said the three drones were seen flying back towards the Chinese mainland, SIA refer to foreign media.

Taipei has in recent weeks complained of Chinese drones flying close to its islets near the Chinese mainland.

Cross-strait tensions remain high after US politician Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan earlier this month.

Taiwan has reported an increase in drone incursions after China launched huge military drills in a show of force after Mrs Pelosi's visit.

President Tsai Ing-wen has labelled some of the drone missions, which have flown over military outposts as a type of "grey zone" warfare activity.
