S. Korea and Japan to discuss recent 'aircraft targeting' controversy
  • 5 years ago
South Korea's defense ministry says Seoul and Tokyo will engage in dialogue to resolve any misunderstandings over a South Korean vessel's use last week of a radar system.
This follows Japanese claims a South Korean destroyer's fire-control radar was used multiple times over a period of several hours on a Japanese aircraft,... based on Japan's analysis of radio frequencies.
Tokyo added its P-1 patrol aircraft wasn't flying abnormally low as Seoul claimed.
South Korea denied Japan's claims the warship's fire-control radar locked-on to the Japanese aircraft,... a move considered hostile.
Seoul added the destroyer was using the radar only to search for a North Korean vessel in international waters.
