The U.S. flew two B-52 bombers into an air-defense zone that China has
claimed and Japan rejects, according to a U.S. defense official who said
China wasn’t notified in advance.
The pair of unarmed bombers flew from Guam and spent less than an hour in
the Chinese zone as part of an annual training exercise, said the official,
who asked not to be identified discussing the bomber deployment.
China announced an air defense identification zone in the East China Sea
effective Nov. 23 and said its military will take “defensive emergency
measures” if aircraft enter the area without reporting flight plans or
identifying themselves.
No Chinese aircraft were identified at the time of the flights, which
occurred without incidents, the defense official said.
