BEIJING - China continued its military drills around Taiwan into a second day on Tuesday as a warning against separatism and external interference, according to the country's armed forces, causing ongoing disruptions to air traffic.

The Eastern Theater Command, which covers the Taiwan Strait, has said the "Justice Mission 2025" exercises in five areas surrounding the self-ruled island involve live-fire drills, urging vessels and aircraft not to enter the waters or airspace.
