2 ex-Chinese military personnel arrested in South Korea for alleged espionage
Two former Chinese military personnel have been arrested in South Korea for alleged espionage, accused of intercepting communications between fighter jets and ground control and collecting information on movements of U.S. armaments. One suspect, a man in his 60s, allegedly set up an interception device at a hotel near an air base jointly used by South Korean and U.S. forces.
The other suspect, a man in his 40s, was arrested for illegally collecting information from the U.S. military headquarters. The arrests come as part of South Korea's ongoing efforts to protect its national security.
