South Korea reported that Russian warplanes entered the no-fly zone without notice. It was noteworthy that this development occurred one day after the joint military trainings organized by South Korea and the USA against the nuclear threat of North Korea.
Russian Planes Entered the Forbidden Zone
In the statement made by the South Korean General Staff, it was stated that Russian planes entered the no-fly zone without notifying Seoul, and did not give any further details.
The Presidency did not confirm reports that South Korea used F-16 fighter jets against two Russian Tu-95 bombers escorted by Sukhoi Su-30 fighter jets over the waters between the Korean Peninsula and Japan.
IT WILL LAST UNTIL SEPTEMBER 1
The incident came a day after South Korea and the US began joint military training to counter the North Korean nuclear threat. Planes, warships, tanks and tens of thousands of soldiers take part in the Ulchi Freedom Shield exercises, which will continue until September 1.
In 2019, South Korea announced that it fired warning shots at a Russian military plane for violating its airspace twice. Russia denied that its plane had entered South Korean territory.
