Taiwan MND refutes report that USAF RC-135W flew over Taipei

We have obtained a copy of a statement by Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense (MND) this morning refuting a report that says a U.S. Air Force (USAF) RC-135W reconnaissance plane had flew over the north of Taiwan.

針對《The War Zone》網站內引述某空軍太平洋司令部官員指出,21日一架RC135W飛到台灣北部上空等情,空軍提供說明如下: 空軍司令部:經查詢10月21日並無美軍相關軍機飛越臺灣本島上空,特此說明。

According to Apple Daily, the aircraft did enter the air defense identification zone (ADIZ) but not over Taiwan airspace.
