What happened
When a Chinese military drone approached Erdan Island, part of the Taiwan-controlled Kinmen archipelago, the Taiwanese military fired a live round at the drone.
The drone turned around and flew away in the direction of the city of Xiamen, which is located in the coastal province of Fujian.
Previously, when Chinese drones approached, the Taiwanese army limited itself to radio warnings or firing warning flares.
