Chinese bombers repeatedly entered and left zone but did not violate South Korean airspace

A file image of a Chinese military H-6K bomber.South Korea’s military said it scrambled fighter jets as two Chinese and six Russian warplanes entered its air defence zone.

They re-entered the zone hours later from the Sea of Japan, known in Korea as the East Sea, accompanied by Russian warplanes, including TU-95 bombers and SU-35 fighter jets, the JCS said. An air defence zone is an area where countries demand that foreign aircraft take special steps to identify themselves. Unlike a country’s airspace – the air above its territory and territorial waters – there are no international rules governing air defence zones.

Japan’s air self-defence force also scrambled fighter jets after the Chinese bombers flew from the East
