South Korea Scrambles Jets After Russian, Chinese Planes Approach

South Korea said it had sent up fighter jets on Tuesday after seven Russian and two Chinese military aircraft entered its air defense zone. The Russian and Chinese aircraft entered the Korea Air Defense Identification Zone (KADIZ) around 10 am local time (9 am, Singapore time), Seoul’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement. None of the planes violated South Korean airspace, they said. (AFP)
