Military authorities here say five Chinese and six Russian aircraft entered the Korea Air Defense Identification Zone today.
According to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the aircraft flew in and around the zone between 9:35 AM and 2 PM on this Friday.
They approached from the east and south seas but did not violate South Korea’s airspace.
The military said it detected the aircraft early and deployed fighter jets as a precaution.
In response, South Korea’s Defense Ministry contacted China’s and Russia’s defense attachés this afternoon to lodge a formal protest.
The ministry urged both nations to take steps to prevent future incursions, calling their actions a source of unnecessary tension in the region.
