Under these circumstances, according to the Okinawa Defense Bureau, a total of 22 KC-135 aerial refueling aircraft are flying from outside bases to the US military Kadena base in Okinawa.
In an unusual number, five of these planes took off in quick succession after 8:00 p.m. on the 2nd, followed by eight F-15 fighters stationed at Kadena Air Base, which also took off and headed south of Okinawa. There is also a possibility that it will be vigilant until it moves to Taiwan on a dedicated plane.

white is a funeral/mourning color in Taiwan
Colour is significant at a funeral in Taiwan. Whilst black is acceptable for mourners to wear attending a funeral and often is, the colour of mourning, that can be worn by the people attending a funeral ceremony, is white. The exception to this is if the deceased person died of natural causes at an age of older than 80 years old. In these circumstances, the event can be seen as a celebration so pink or red (a colour of real celebration) might be acceptably worn.
