Japan’s prime minister Sanae Takaichi vowed to “respond” after Tokyo summoned Beijing's ambassador to protest an incident in which Chinese fighter jets allegedly aimed their radar at Japanese military aircraft, deepening the dispute between the two countries.
Japanese defence minister Shinjiro Koizumi said at an emergency press conference shortly after 2am on Sunday China committed a “dangerous act” near Japan’s Okinawa islands and vowed to respond “resolutely and calmly”.
