South Korea intercepts Russian plane
South Korea's Ministry of Defense reported that its fighter jets were dispatched to respond to the entry of Russian aircraft into the air defense zone over the Sea of Japan (East Sea), marking the second such breach within a few weeks. Although the Russian planes did not violate Korean airspace, this incident reflects escalating tensions between the two countries, especially after South Korea joined Western sanctions against Moscow following the invasion of Ukraine. Moscow has also strengthened its relations with North Korea. The area entered by the aircraft is considered a buffer zone requiring foreign aircraft to identify themselves for security purposes, and countries are usually notified before entering it—something that did not happen in this case in a legally binding manner. South Korea continues to protest against Russian and Chinese flights, calling for measures to prevent their recurrence.
