Chinese Fighters and Bomber Penetrate South Korean Air Space

Via a reader tip comes this news of how the Chinese flew three aircraft into the ROK’s air defense identification zone:

Beijing’s aircraft, which included a bomber, quickly left the airspace after South Korean authorities issued a warning and dispatched the fighter jets, a military source told South Korea’s Yonhap news agency.  [IB Times]
