On Tuesday afternoon, Russian military aircraft briefly entered Korea's air defense identification zone (KADIZ) over the eastern waters, according to the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS). The Russian planes entered the KADIZ near the Korean islets of Dokdo and Ulleung Island before exiting the zone, sparking a response from the Korean military.
The JCS stated that the Korean military detected the Russian aircraft early on and deployed fighter jets to prepare for potential contingencies. However, the aircraft did not breach Korea's airspace, the JCS added. This incident is the latest in a series of such events, with nearly 10 Chinese and Russian military aircraft briefly entering and exiting the KADIZ above Korea's eastern and southern waters in late June. The defense ministry expressed strong protest over the matter.
