A Chinese Y-9 military intelligence-gathering aircraft violated Japan’s airspace off the Danjo Islands in Nagasaki Prefecture for about two minutes on Monday, Japan’s Defense Ministry announced on the day.
An Air Self-Defense Force fighter jet was scrambled in response.
The incursion took place from about 11:29 a.m. to about 11:31 a.m., the ministry said. This was the first time for a violation of Japan’s airspace by a Chinese military aircraft to be confirmed and announced.
