Japan Scrambles Jets Amid Russian Military Activity.

In a sharp reminder of regional security concerns, Japan's Joint Staff Office reported that fighter jets were scrambled today to intercept a Russian IL-20 surveillance aircraft over the Sea of Japan. This follows multiple incidents this week involving Russian Tu-95 bombers and fighters entering Japan's Air Defense Identification Zone. Russian naval surveillance ships have also been active near Yonaguni Island, keeping Japan's maritime and air defense forces on high alert.
