South China Morning Post: Japan, South Korea scramble fighter jets after eight Chinese warplanes fly over Korea Strait
Move by Chinese aircraft, including bombers, signals Beijing’s determination to step up routine presence in waters in which China has interests, experts say.
At least eight Chinese warplanes were spotted flying over the Korea Strait close to Japanese islands on Monday, prompting Japanese and South Korean air forces to scramble fighter jets.
The move signalled Beijing’s determination to step up its routine presence in any waters in which China had an interest, observers said.
The People’s Liberation Army aircraft flew over the eastern channel of the Korea Strait, towards the Sea of Japan, turned around to the north of Oki Island, in Shimane prefecture, and then flew back over the East China Sea, NHK TV reported, citing Japan’s Ministry of Defence.
The aircraft were six H-6 strategic bombers, one Shaanxi Y-8 early-warning plane and a Shaanxi Y-9 intelligence-gathering aircraft.
