The guided missile destroyer USS John S McCain conducted a "routine" transit of the Taiwan Strait on Wednesday, the US Navy said, as China sent more fighter jets into Taiwan's air defence zone and a Chinese carrier group drilled near Taiwan.

"The ship's transit through the Taiwan Strait demonstrates the US commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific. The United States military will continue to fly, sail, and operate anywhere international law allows," the US Navy said in a statement.
