Japan scrambled fighter jets after Russian aircraft flew around the archipelago for the first time in five years, Tokyo said Friday.
From Thursday morning to afternoon, the Russian Tu-142 aircraft flew from the sea between Japan and South Korea towards the southern Okinawa region, according to a defense ministry statement.
They then travelled north over the Pacific Ocean and finished their journey off the northern island of Hokkaido, it added.
