SEOUL — A Maritime Self-Defense Force helicopter
flew close on Sept. 21 to the South Korean-controlled islets claimed by
Japan, prompting South Korea to mobilize fighter jets, according to TV
broadcaster KBS.
The chopper left the area after being warned away by the South Korean military, KBS reported Thursday.
The MSDF confirmed Friday that one of its
helicopters entered the area while conducting a takeoff and landing
drill on a destroyer positioned some 50 km east of the disputed islets
in the Sea of Japan known as Takeshima in Japan and Dokdo in South
Korea.
