BEIJING - The People's Liberation Army (PLA) Navy has begun conducting its annual live ammunition drill in the East China Sea, Chinese military authorities announced on Wednesday.
The No 91765 unit of the Navy's East China Sea Fleet started training off the coast of East China's Zhejiang province on Wednesday, a statement released by the Ministry of National Defense said.
The training involves naval vessels shooting at targets in eight fishery zones within China's exclusive economic zone (EEZ), where the US military has repeatedly sent ships and aircraft for reconnaissance missions.
