8月2日晚开始，东部战区陆续在台岛周边开展一系列联合军事行动，在台岛北部、西南、东南海空域进行联合海空演训，将在台湾海峡进行远程火力实弹射击，在台岛东部海域组织常导火力试射。

东部战区新闻发言人施毅表示，8月2日晚开始，东部战区陆续在台岛周边开展一系列联合军事行动。此次行动，是针对美近期在台湾问题上消极举动重大升级采取的严正震慑，是对“台独”势力谋“独”行径的严重警告。

The People's Liberation Army's Eastern Theater Command announced late on Tuesday night that it had started a series of joint operations in the air and waters surrounding Taiwan starting on Tuesday evening amid the provocative visit to Taiwan by United States House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Senior Colonel Shi Yi, the command's spokesman, said in a statement that its naval and air forces will carry out joint exercises and training to the north, southwest and southeast of Taiwan. Meanwhile, long-range strike drills will take place in the Taiwan Straits and ballistic missiles will be fired into waters to the east of Taiwan, the spokesman added.

The operations are intended to act as a deterrent to the serious escalations made recently by the US on the Taiwan question and serve as a warning to "Taiwan independence" forces, he said.

东部战区副参谋长顾中表示：这次联合军事行动，是针对美和台当局在台湾问题上的危险举动所采取的必要举措。战区组织多军兵种部队成体系、全要素展开，进行联合封控、对海突击、对陆打击、制空作战等多课目针对性演练和精导武器实弹射击，全面检验武器装备性能和部队联合作战能力，做好应对一切危机事态准备！我们正告那些心怀不轨窜台人员和“台独”分子，东部战区部队有充分的信心和能力反击一切挑衅，坚决捍卫国家主权和领土完整。
