Newsweek: Japan Keeps Intercepting China Military Drones and Spy Planes
Japan says it has scrambled fighter aircraft to intercept Chinese military drones and accompanying surveillance aircraft on three consecutive days this week as its defense forces took part in a series of readiness exercises with regional allies.
