Japan scrambles aircraft over suspected China drone

Japan's defence ministry says it scrambled aircraft after detecting a suspected Chinese drone off an island near Taiwan, amid a weeks-long diplomatic spat between Tokyo and Beijing.

Axar.az informs, citing ABC news, the drone was spotted off Japan's Yonaguni, an island where Tokyo is planning to deploy missiles in a move that has angered Beijing.

"We confirmed that an unmanned aerial vehicle believed to be Chinese passed between Yonaguni Island and Taiwan on Monday," Japan's defence ministry said on X.

The regional Japan Air Self-Defense Forces "scrambled aircraft" in response, it said.
