중국 군용기 1대, KADIZ 진입했다 이탈…공군 F-15K 긴급투입
The Joint Chiefs of Staff report a Chinese warplane flew into South Korea's air defense identification zone this morning and remained in it for around four hours.
In a tactical response, Seoul's military immediately dispatched F-15K fighter jets to track the jets off the nation's southwest coast.
An air defense ID zone is different from airspace in that military force cannot be used to chase out foreign planes.
According to the JCS, this incursion was similar to the incidents from February and April.
The defense ministry expressed regret at the seriousness of the case, and told the Chinese defense attache in Korea such incursions should never be repeated.
