Tensions in the region could rise after satellite images appear to show two batteries of eight missile launchers and a radar system on Woody Island
China has placed surface-to-air missile equipment on one of the disputed islands in the South China Sea, newly published satellite images appear to show.
Tensions in the region could rise after two batteries of eight missile launchers and a radar system were deployed to Woody Island in the past week according to images taken by the private company ImageSat International.
The images were first published by Fox News.
The missile move has been confirmed by Taiwan which also claims sovereignty of the island.
Maj Gen David Lo told Reuters news agency that Taiwan “will closely watch subsequent developments.”
“Interested parties should work together to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea region and refrain from taking any unilateral measures that would increase tensions.”
An image dated 14 February showed the presence of the equipment, whereas the same area looked to be empty in an image dated 3 February.
