NHK News: Govt. protests longest intrusion in Japan's waters 

The Japanese government has lodged a protest over two Chinese patrol ships that navigated in Japan's territorial waters off the Senkaku Islands for more than two days. 

It's the longest intrusion into the waters in eight years. 

Coast guard officials say the Chinese vessels entered the waters off the Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea on Sunday morning. 

They left the waters on Tuesday evening, more than 57 hours later. 

It was the longest intrusion since Japan's government purchased some of the Senkaku Islands from a private Japanese owner in 2012.
