Japanese Fighters Scarmble After Chinese Plane Enters Airspace

Japan scrambled jets, on Tuesday, after a Chinese plane violated their airspace.

A Chinese Y12 surveillance plane flew into disputed territory, over the East China Sea.

As soon as it crossed into, international recognized, Japanese territory, Japan sent F15s to intercept it.

Once the F15s were in the air, the Y12 turned around and left.

China claims their plane never entered Japanese air space and has set it's armed forces on high alert, in response.
