Australia - China - diplomatic dispute - international airspace - military tensions - naval helicopter - Yellow Sea

Australia and China engage in a heated aerial encounter as accusations fly between the nations.

In a dramatic aerial showdown, China has accused an Australian navy helicopter of provocation after a Chinese military jet released flares in response to the helicopter's presence near Chinese airspace. The clash escalated as both countries exchanged accusations of disrupting drills and unsafe behavior during the Yellow Sea encounter. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese expressed concerns over the incident, leading to diplomatic protests from Australia to Beijing regarding the Chinese fighter jet's actions. The Chinese defense spokesperson defended the expulsion of the Australian helicopter as a reasonable and safe measure to protect their naval training exercises in international waters.
