According to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, more than ten Chinese and Russian military aircraft entered the KADIZ over the East and South Seas on the morning of June 27 before exiting the area. There were no violations of South Korean airspace during this incident.
The military tracked the aircraft's flight paths before their entry into KADIZ and deployed fighter jets as a precautionary measure against any unexpected situations.
The aircraft involved were bombers and fighters reportedly participating in ongoing joint air drills between China and Russia.
This marks the first entry of Chinese and Russian military aircraft into KADIZ since December of last year, when nine military aircraft also entered and exited the area without breaching South Korean airspace.
The Air Defense Identification Zone (KADIZ) is established to identify and respond to aircraft approaching a nation's airspace early, and it is distinct from the concept of sovereign airspace.
However, according to international practice, military aircraft entering another country's air defense identification zone are required to submit a flight plan in advance and notify the respective country of their location and flight information upon entry.
