JUST IN 🇨🇳⚡🇵🇭 – Armed Forces of the Philippines chief Gen. Romeo Brawner Jr. says China’s PLA Air Force "dropped flares" in the path of a Philippine Air Force aircraft conducting a routine maritime patrol over Panatag Shoal on Aug. 8.
Brawner "condemns the dangerous and provocative actions" of the People’s Liberation Army Air Force, saying it "endangered the lives of our personnel undertaking maritime security operations recently within Philippine maritime zones."
Brawner: The incident posed a threat to Philippine Air Force aircraft and its crew, interfered with lawful flight operations in airspace within Philippine sovereignty and jurisdiction, and contravened international law and regulations governing safety of aviation.
