China fired 11 missiles into the sea around Taiwan on Thursday in response to US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit, even as Taipei played down the impact on flights and shipping. China tested the Dongfeng ballistic missiles in Taiwan’s north, south and east waters between 13:56 p.m. and 16:00 p.m. local time, the island’s Defense Ministry said in a statement. Sun Li-fang, a ministry spokesman, earlier said missiles were fired from land. Separately, the ministry said it had detected Chinese long-range rockets near the northwestern outlying islands of Matsu and Dongyin, and Wuqiu in the west. The ministry said it had strengthened its guard around the islands, which are located closer to China’s coastline than Taiwan.
