Taiwan says it will shoot down 'targets' deemed a security threat

Taiwan's military says it will shoot down any "targets" that it deems a security threat after revealing that Chinese balloons fly frequently over the democratic self-ruled island.

"If we ascertain that a target poses a high level of threat, our response will of course include shooting it down as it nears or enters our territorial space" says Huang Wen-Chi, Assistant Deputy Chief of the country's General Staff For Intelligence.
