The Ministry of National Defense says it closely monitored the movements of China's aircraft carrier, the Liaoning as it passed through the Taiwan Strait yesterday.
The ministry has released a black-and-white surveillance photograph showing an aerial view of the vessel - which shows several fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters on the carrier's flight deck.
Defense officials have not specified where or when the photo was taken .. and have also not disclose whether it was taken by a drone, an aircraft, or radar system.
The last time the defense ministry reported a Chinese aircraft carrier in the Taiwan Strait was mid-December of last year - when China's newest and most advanced carrier, the Fujian, passed through the waterway.
The Liaoning is the oldest of China's three operating aircraft carriers.
