Two China Coast Guard vessels that had intruded into the territorial waters off the Senkaku Islands in Ishigaki, Okinawa Prefecture, left the territorial waters on Sunday afternoon, the Japan Coast Guard said.
The two vessels entered Japan’s territorial waters on Saturday morning, according to the 11th Regional Coast Guard Headquarters in Naha. A Japanese fishing boat was operating nearby, and a JCG patrol boat asked the Chinese ships to leave.
