Summary

South Korea scrambled fighter jets as five Chinese and six Russian warplanes entered its air defense identification zone (KADIZ) on Friday, though they did not breach national airspace.

The incursion, part of joint Chinese-Russian military drills, occurred near the contested Dokdo islands and lasted over four hours.

South Korea condemned the unannounced flights, calling for measures to prevent escalation.

Similar incidents have increased since 2019, reflecting deepening China-Russia defense ties amid tensions with the U.S., South Korea, and Japan.

This follows other global airspace incidents involving Russian and Chinese forces.
