The Chinese navy started a drill involved firing dozens of missiles and torpedoes in the East China Sea on Monday, a day that marks the 89th anniversary of the founding of the People's Liberation Army (PLA).

The drill is aimed at honing the assault "intensity, precision, stability and speed" of troops amid heavy electromagnetic influences, said a navy statement released Monday.

"An information technology-based war at sea is sudden, cruel and short, which requires fast transition to combat status, quick preparation and high assault efficiency," the statement said.

The drill involved naval aviation forces, including submarines, ships and coastguard troops. Over one hundred navy ships, a dozen of fighter jets and radar system are deployed in the drill.
