South Korea fires warning shots at Russian military aircraft
South Korea fired warning shots at a Russian A-50 military aircraft that entered its airspace on Tuesday, its Ministry of Defence said.
Officials said the plane violated the airspace over the Dokdo/Takeshima islands, which are occupied by Seoul but also claimed by Japan.
South Korea's Ministry of Defence said it scrambled fighter jets in response and fired 360 warning shots.
Russia has denied violating the country's airspace.
It says it was carrying out a planned drill over international waters.
This is the first incident of its kind between Russia and South Korea.
