The aircraft headed straight for the Senkaku Islands, then turned around and headed for mainland China.
According to the Ministry of Defense, on the morning of the 10th, it was confirmed that one aircraft, which seems to be an unmanned aircraft, was flying straight from north to south over the East China Sea toward the Senkaku Islands.
The aircraft reversed at a point about 80 kilometers north of the Senkaku Islands and then headed for the Chinese mainland.
Air Self-Defense Force fighters scrambled to respond, and there was no airspace violation.
This is the fifth time that the Ministry of Defense has announced the flight of a Chinese drone or an aircraft presumed to be a drone around Japan, and we continue to monitor and monitor it.
