The Ministry of National Defense (MND) stated that at 07:46 today (21st), the CCP carried out a satellite launch mission on a carrier rocket at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan. The flight path of the rocket passed through the southwest air defense identification zone of Taiwan, and headed toward the western Pacific. Since its altitude was outside the atmosphere, it posed no harm to the Taiwan region. The Armed Forces adopted joint intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance systems to closely master relevant ballistic dynamics, trajectories, and other information to provide appropriate warning and response.
