Busy over the Sea of Japan today

Posted 8h ago8 hours ago, updated 1h ago

The end of this week’s Quad meeting in Japan has been marked by a joint China-Russia air force drill near Japan’s airspace and a North Korean ballistic missile test.

Japan scrambled jets after Russian and Chinese warplanes neared its airspace on Tuesday, while Tokyo was hosting the leaders of Australia, United States and India, Japan’s Defence Minister Nobuo Kishi said.

The incident saw Japan convey “grave concerns” to both Russia and China through diplomatic channels, Mr Kishi said at a news conference which was broadcast online.
