South Korean fighter shot in the direction of the Russian aircraft
South Korea carried out provocative actions against the Russian strategic bomber Tu-95MS, which performed a flight in accordance with international rules over the Sea of Japan.
According to Seoul, on July 23, a Russian plane violated South Korean airspace over the Dokdo Islands (Takeshima) twice, which allegedly forced the South Korean command to take F-16 fighters into the air, which fired warning shots in the direction of Tu-95MS.
The Russian Ministry of Defense denies allegations of violation of South Korean airspace. Also, according to the Russian military, the pilots of South Korean fighters did not open warning fire, but "performed unprofessional maneuvers, crossing the course of Russian strategic missile carriers and creating a threat to their security."
The report also noted that the South Korean side did not contact the Russian pilots and did not notify them of any violation of the airspace.
Later, the Administration of South Korean President Moon Jae In expressed a protest to Russia, in which she explicitly expressed a threat to Russia:
Since the islands are the subject of a dispute between South Korea and Japan, Tokyo followed up with Seoul.
