US Spy plane entered Chinese airspace during China's military drill - Foreign Ministry
Beijing/Sputnik: A US spy plane entered a no-fly zone in China's airspace as Chinese soldiers were holding an exercise, a spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Zhao Lijian, said Wednesday.
The Chinese Defense Ministry said earlier this week that a U-2 aircraft entered a no-fly zone during a live bullet drill.
"It happened within the Chinese airspace and territory, of course," Zhao said, when asked if the incident took pace in the international airspace.
China has called the actions of the US a provocation and expressed its protest.
