China's TB-001 reconnaissance-strike drone filmed the Taipei 101 skyscraper in Taiwan as part of the Justice Mission 2025 military drills around the island, according to a post on X by @clashreport between 1:47 p.m. and 2:16 p.m. UTC on December 29, 2025. Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense reported that the People's Republic of China dispatched 89 aircraft and 28 naval vessels around Taiwan during the exercise on December 29, as stated by @TaiwanMonitor on X in the same 29-minute period. The drone footage highlights ongoing aerial activity in the drills, which have encircled Taiwan and prompted responses from Taiwanese forces. Taiwan's military previously established a response center, deployed forces, and conducted rapid response exercises earlier on December 29, according to official statements cited by Osint613 on X. These developments follow reports of a small submarine sighted off Boundary Island in Hainan Province between 12:46 p.m. and 1:15 p.m. UTC, as photographed by Chinese netizens and posted by @new27brigade on X. The Justice Mission 2025 exercise has also led to flight diversions impacting over 100,000 international and 6,000 domestic passengers, per Taiwan's Ministry of Transportation.
