In an extraordinary turn of events that could further escalate tensions in Northeast Asia, on July 23, warplanes of four countries were involved in a face off above one of the most politically sensitive areas in the region. The encounter occurred above the disputed islets of Dokdo, which are controlled by South Korea, but claimed by Japan as Takeshima. Tokyo and Seoul confirm that two Russian Tu-95 bombers, one Russian A-50 and two Chinese H-6 bombers entered the Korea Air Defence Identification Zone (KAIDZ).
