Philippine military aircraft illegally entered the airspace of Huangyan Island in the South China Sea

According to the news on August 10, on August 8 local time, a Philippine Air Force NC-212 aircraft, disregarding repeated warnings from the Chinese side, insisted on illegally entering the airspace of Huangyan Island in the South China Sea, interfering with China's normal exercise and training activities. The Southern Theater Command of the Chinese People's Liberation Army organized sea and air forces to conduct identification and verification, tracking and monitoring, warning and expulsion in accordance with the law. The on-site operations were professional, standardized, legitimate and justified. The Chinese side officially warned the Philippines to immediately stop infringement, provocation, distortion and hype.

China has indisputable sovereignty over Huangyan Island and its adjacent waters. The troops of the theater command remain highly vigilant at all times, resolutely defending national sovereignty and security, and firmly maintaining peace and stability in the South China Sea region.
