00:05first autonomous transit at the Taiwan Strait.
00:08Defense firm C-SATS announced Wednesday that its uncrewed surface vessel, known as the
00:13Lightfish, spent five days going through the strait.
00:16According to reports, the vessel encountered multiple Chinese warships inside Taiwan's
00:20exclusive economic zone.
