PLA ADIZ Activity Stays Low: 2 Sorties as Han Kuang 42 Enters Final Days

Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense detected 2 PLA aircraft sorties, 7 PLAN vessels and 6 official ships operating around Taiwan in the 24-hour window ending 06:00 (UTC+8) on August 11, 2026, with both sorties entering Taiwan's southwestern ADIZ. Air activity held near the low end of the window's range for a second straight day, continuing the moderation seen since the August 8 spike of 14 sorties, even as Han Kuang 42 entered its final days (exercise concludes August 14) and Typhoon Dolphin approached the region.
