Russian military aircraft entered Korea's air defense identification zone (KADIZ) over the eastern waters on Tuesday afternoon, according to officials. The JCS reported that the aircraft briefly entered the KADIZ near the easternmost islets of Dokdo and Ulleung Island before exiting. In response, the Korean military dispatched fighter jets to monitor the situation.
The JCS noted that the Russian aircraft did not violate Korea's airspace. This incident follows a similar event in late June when nearly ten Chinese and Russian military aircraft briefly entered and exited the KADIZ over Korea's eastern and southern waters.
