Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi stated that the recent violation of Japanese airspace by a Chinese military aircraft poses a serious threat to Japan's sovereignty and security.
Japan's military confirmed it scrambled jets to urgently respond to the breach by a Chinese Y-9 reconnaissance plane, emphasizing the seriousness of the incursion.
The Japanese Foreign Ministry summoned the acting Chinese Ambassador to lodge a formal protest, demanding preventive measures to avert future airspace violations.
In the past year, Japan's military has scrambled jets nearly 669 times, with about 70 percent of these incidents attributed to Chinese military activities.
