Taiwan shoots at China’s drone for the first time, counters ‘intimidation'

• Taiwan fires warning shots at a Chinese drone near offshore island. It was the first time such warning shots have been fired during a period of heightened tensions between China and Taiwan. The drone was spotted infiltrating shortly after President Tsai Ing-Wen said she had ordered Taiwan's military to take "strong countermeasures". The statement was made during her visit to the frontline troops in Penghu Islands. There has been no immediate response from China so far on the drone 'provocations'. However, on August 29, the Chinese Foreign Ministry had dismissed Taiwan's complaints about the drones as nothing "to make a fuss about". Watch this report to know more.
