TOKYO (Reuters) – Japan’s defence ministry on Friday said it scrambled jet fighters to monitor two Chinese air force bombers flying between Okinawa and Miyako islands in the morning.
The Chinese H-6 bombers were spotted flying through the strait between southwest Japan’s Okinawa and Miyako islands, the ministry said. Okinawa is home to one of the major U.S. military bases in Asia-Pacific.
