The Joint Chiefs of Staff pointed out that two Chinese military aircraft and Russian military aircraft entered the air defense identification area Cadiz in the South Sea and the East Sea today, and one Russian military aircraft attacked Dokdo's airspace.

At 6:44 am, two Chinese military aircraft crossed Cadiz and passed around.

At about 8:20 pm, Chinese military aircraft passed between Ulleungdo and Dokdo, crossed the NLL on the northern margin of the East Sea, and joined two Russian military aircraft at 8:33 am.

Chinese and Russian military aircraft, Ninjutsu, left the navy south to go to Cadiz around Ulleungdo, leave Cadiz at 9:04, and leave the East Sea to the south.

Separately, at about 9:09 a Russian military aircraft entered the East Sea and invaded Dokdo's airspace.

The Russian airplane left the airspace and the second time, at 9:33 am, invaded the Dokdo airspace.

Our fighter was caught up in warning shots, and the Russian military aircraft left the Dokdo area at 9:37 am.

It is the first time that our military warning of Russian military aircraft, as well as our airborne invasion of Russian military aircraft, is the first.

The military said it had taken emergency measures such as tracking, surveillance and flight, blocking maneuvering, and warning fighters by urging fighters from when the Chinese and Russian military aircraft were captured in the western part of Jeju Island and north of NLL.

The Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will take an unprecedented approach to Kadiz and air infiltration this afternoon, with officials from the embassies of the two countries presenting the intent of the unprecedented East Sea flight of China and Russia.
