- 5 years ago
South Korea and Russia are holding working-level talks at Seoul's defense ministry over a Russian warplane's violation of Korean airspace.
Seoul's Defense Ministry has said it's planning to share information regarding the Russian aircraft that trespassed into Korean airspace... to prove its side of the story.
Seoul's Joint Chiefs of Staff said a Russian jet intruded Korean airspace twice near the easternmost islets of Dokdo on Tuesday
But the Russian Embassy issued a statement earlier today that said Moscow has not confirmed any airspace intrusion and it plans to investigate the situation before handing over its official stance to Seoul.
U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper, meanwhile, said a Russian warplane crossed South Korean airspace and it's not new that "Russians have been flying routes south".
