Two Chinese H-6 bombers are spotted repeatedly entering and leaving the Korea Air Defence Identification Zone (KADIZ) - later returning from the Sea of Japan with six Russian warplanes, including TU-95 bombers and SU-35 fighter jets, South Korea's military says.
South Korea said it has scrambled fighter jets after detecting two Chinese and six Russian warplanes in its air defence zone.
The two Chinese H-6 bombers repeatedly entered and left the Korea Air Defence Identification Zone off the southern and northeast coast at around 5:50am local time, the military said. They returned hours later from the Sea of Japan with the Russian warplanes - including TU-95 bombers and SU-35 fighter jets - and left after 18 minutes in the zone.
"Our military dispatched air force fighter jets ahead of the Chinese and Russian aircraft's entry of the KADIZ to implement tactical measures in preparation for a potential contingency," the Joint Chiefs of Staff said.Japan's Air Self Defence Force also scrambled fighter jets after the Chinese bombers flew from the East China Sea into the Sea of Japan, where they were joined by two Russian drones, Tokyo's defence ministry later said in a media release.
An air defence zone is an area in which countries demand that foreign aircraft take special steps to identify themselves.
