Japan Protests China's Y-9 Plane Breach Over Nagasaki
Aug 27, 2024, 12:26 AM
Japan has lodged a strong protest against China following an unprecedented breach of its airspace by a Chinese military aircraft. On Monday, a Chinese Y-9 reconnaissance plane briefly entered Japanese territorial airspace near the Danjo Islands in Nagasaki Prefecture for about two minutes. This marks the first confirmed incursion of its kind by a Chinese military aircraft, according to Japan's Defense Ministry. In response, Japan scrambled fighter jets and summoned a Chinese embassy official in Tokyo to issue a protest. Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi condemned the violation as 'utterly unacceptable' and a 'serious violation' of Japan's security. The Chinese Foreign Ministry stated that China has no intention of intruding into the airspace of any country and is verifying the incident.
