SEOUL: South Korea said on Friday it had scrambled military jets to intercept a Chinese military aircraft that entered the South’s air defense territory.
The Chinese plane spent more than four hours in the Korea Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) after flying near a submerged rock in the area controlled by Seoul but claimed by Beijing, the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said in a statement.
South Korea’s Air Force deployed more than one fighter jet to track and blare warnings to the Chinese aircraft to leave, the JCS said.
