Taking a look at some of the other stories of the day... A Chinese military aircraft trespassed into Korea's Air Defense Identification Zone for a few hours this Saturday, without notifying Korea beforehand.
Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said Saturday afternoon that the Chinese warplane was detected violating the KADIZ at around ten-forty-four Korean time.
It flew over waters off the coast of Pohang in the southeast of Korea all the way up to Gangneung in the northeast.
The plane flew out of the Zone at two thirty-three p.m. almost 4 hours later.
A Korean fighter jet was scrambled to closely monitor the Chinese aircraft's movements... but Beijing later claimed that the plane was conducting a normal flight training exercise within legal international airspace.
