A Chinese military Y-9 aircraft was intercepted by the Japanese Ministry of Defense on Monday, off the coast of the Danjo Islands in the southwestern prefecture of Nagasaki. The incursion lasted two minutes from 11.29am to 11.31am as the jet circled above the waters southeast of the islands multiple times, the Japanese defence ministry said. The jet eventually headed towards China at around 1.15pm.
The Joint Staff said Japan scrambled fighter jets that warned the Chinese plane to exit the airspace. Chief cabinet secretary, Yoshimasa Hayashi, said the airspace breach was “not only a serious violation of Japan’s sovereignty but it also threatens our security”. He called the breach “utterly unacceptable” and summoned a Chinese embassy official in Tokyo to protest the violation.
