A series of Chinese coast guard ships entered Japanese waters.
The vessels, including one that appeared to be armed with multiple guns, were spotted in Japanese waters at around 10 a.m., prompting the Japan Coast Guard to ask them to leave.
According to Kyodo, the Japan Coast Guard announced that on the morning of March 2, four Chinese coast guard ships entered Japanese waters around the Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea.
The vessels, including one that appeared to be armed with multiple guns, were spotted in Japanese waters at around 10 a.m. local time, prompting the Japanese Coast Guard to ask them to leave. However, they only left after staying there for about an hour and a half.
The uninhabited Senkaku Islands are currently controlled by Japan but are also claimed by China and Taiwan, which call them Diaoyu and Diaoyutai, respectively./.
