Kuala Lumpur (HRNW) Malaysia will summon China’s ambassador to protest an “intrusion” by 16 Chinese air force planes over the South China Sea in what Foreign Minister Hishammuddin Hussein says represents a “breach of Malaysian airspace and sovereignty”.
The “suspicious” Chinese planes were detected on Monday flying at altitudes up to 27,000 feet and at a speed of 290 knots before being spotted near the East Malaysian state of Sarawak, the Royal Malaysian Air Force said in a statement late Tuesday. The planes entered the Malaysian maritime zone and were approaching national airspace, according to the statement.
