South Korea said Tuesday that Russian warplanes entered its air buffer zone unannounced, and that it responded with unspecified 'tactical action,' a term that usually refers to the scrambling of fighter jets to chase away unauthorized foreign aircraft.
South Korean army soldiers conduct an anti-terror drill as part of joint military exercises in Bucheon, South Korea, on Aug. 23, 2022. South Korea said Tuesday that Russian warplanes entered its air buffer zone unannounced, and that it responded with unspecified "tactical action," a term that usually refers to the scrambling of fighter jets to chase away unauthorized foreign aircraft.
The incident came a day after South Korea and the United States began their biggest combined military training in years in a response to North Korea's nuclear threat. The Ulchi Freedom Shield exercises, which continue through Sept. 1, involve aircraft, warships and tanks and potentially tens of thousands of troops.
