Japan scrambled fighter jets after Russian Tu-95 and Chinese H-6 bombers conducted a joint long-range flight near Japanese airspace, accompanied by Chinese J-16 fighters and several Russian aircraft.
Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi called the maneuver “a clear show of force” and a serious security concern.
The incident comes amid rising tensions, including Japan’s recent claim that Chinese jets locked onto its aircraft.
