Beijing has intensified maritime patrols around Taiwan, prompting Taipei to shadow Chinese vessels, Reuters reports.

Taipei responded by deploying its own ships to monitor the area, escalating tensions in the Strait of Taiwan, per the Taipei Times.

The increased surveillance comes amid growing cross-strait friction, with both sides accusing each other of provocative actions near contested waters, SCMP notes.
