TAIPEI (TVBS NEWS) — An unidentified aircraft in Taiwan's Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) received five warnings from an air traffic controller on Tuesday (March 14) in a concerning incident that has raised questions about flight safety.
The first order for the unidentified aircraft to leave was issued at 11:37 a.m. local time. However, it did not comply immediately, leading to four more warnings from the air traffic controller.
