Japan has accused China of directing military radar at its fighter jets near Okinawa, leading to rising tensions between the two nations. Chinese J-15 fighters from the Liaoning aircraft carrier reportedly aimed radar at Japanese F-15s multiple times, prompting Japan to lodge formal protests. Both countries have exchanged conflicting narratives regarding the encounters, with Japan asserting that Chinese aircraft engaged in hostile actions and China countering that Japan is exaggerating the situation. Amid escalating tensions, Japan and Australia have called for calm and restraint as military operations intensify in the contested regions, particularly surrounding the Senkaku Islands.
