Taiwan said a Chinese military reconnaissance drone entered its air defense zone on Monday, the latest incursion as relations between the two neighbors remain tense.

The drone, identified by Taipei's defense ministry as a BZK-007 vehicle, crossed into the southwest corner of the island's air defense identification zone (ADIZ) along with eight Chinese warplanes, AFP said.
