Tokyo announced on Wednesday that US B-52 bombers flew alongside Japanese F-35 and F-15 fighter jets over the Sea of Japan(East Sea) in a clear show of allied air power, days after Chinese and Russian aircraft conducted joint operations in the region. The Japanese Ministry of Defense stated, "We are concerned about the joint flights of Chinese and Russian bombers in the East China Sea."

Two Chinese and seven Russian military aircraft, including long-range bombers and fighter jets, entered South Korea’s Air Defense Identification Zone (KADIZ) this morning at around 10:00 a.m. over the waters to the south and east of the Korean Peninsula, while operating over the Sea of Japan(East Sea). Fighters with the Republic of Korea Air Force were scrambled in response to the intrusion - the first such incident to have occurred since November 2024 - in preparation for a possible “accidental situation,” according to the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff
