TOKYO (Reuters) - Five ballistic missiles fired by China appear to have landed in Japan's exclusive economic zone (EEZ), Japanese defense minister Nobuo Kishi said on Thursday, part of military exercises launched by China earlier in the day.

The exercises, China's largest ever in the Taiwan Strait, began as scheduled at midday and included live-firing in the waters to the north, south and east of Taiwan, bringing tensions in the area to their highest in a quarter century.

"To have five Chinese missiles fall within Japan's EEZ like this is a first," Kishi told reporters.

"We have protested strongly through diplomatic channels."
