China and Japan Trade Accusations After Radar Lock⁢ Incident

Beijing – Tensions are rising in the ‍East China⁣ Sea after Japan ​accused Chinese military aircraft of locking radar​ onto Japanese fighter jets. China has responded by criticizing Japan for ‌”slandering” its military, setting the stage ‌for a potential diplomatic ⁣dispute.

Japanese Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi​ described the incident as “vrey regrettable and perilous,” stating it “exceeds ‍the scope necessary for safe aircraft operations.” He confirmed that a formal protest had ⁣been submitted to Beijing, demanding “strict preventive‌ measures.”

According to Japan’s Defense Ministry, a Chinese J-15⁤ aircraft operating from the aircraft⁢ carrier Liaoning intermittently locked its ‌radar onto a japanese F-15 on two separate occasions on Saturday, December 6th, for approximately three minutes in the afternoon and thirty minutes in the evening. Japanese fighter jets were monitoring Chinese aircraft conducting take-off and landing exercises.

Japanese officials clarified⁤ that no ⁣airspace violations occurred, and there were no reports​ of injuries or damage. Kyodo News reported that Japanese aircraft maintained⁣ a safe distance and avoided any actions⁢ that could be perceived as provocative during⁣ the radar lock incidents.

China,through Senior Colonel Wang Xuemeng,a spokesperson for the Chinese Navy,dismissed the accusations,suggesting japan was attempting to discredit its military.
