SinoDaily.com reports: “South Korea’s military said it scrambled fighter jets Wednesday as six Russian and two Chinese warplanes entered its air defence zone without notice.

Japan’s military also said it had scrambled jets in response to flights over the Sea of Japan, also known as the East Sea, by Russian and Chinese aircraft.
