Seoul says protested entry of Russian, Chinese jets into air defense identification zone

Seoul, June 7 (UNI) Seoul has expressed "strong protest" to Russia and China after the two countries' military jets entered its air defense identification zone (KADIZ) without notice and urged them not to repeat such actions in the future, the South Korean Defense Ministry said on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, four Russian and four Chinese military jets briefly entered South Korean's KADIZ without violating the country's airspace. Nevertheless, Seoul deployed its air force fighters to conduct tactical steps with a view to preventing potential accidental situations, South Korean media reported.
"The defense ministry expressed regret to both countries in connection with the fact that Chinese and Russian military planes entered our air defense identification zone (KADIZ) without any advance notice and flew over ... areas close to our air space. Moreover, we urge appropriate measures to be taken to prevent the repetition of such actions, as they could become a source of tension in the region," the South Korean Defense Ministry said in a statement.
