Japan’s Defense Ministry said it spotted a Chinese military drone near the Japanese islands of Okinawa and Miyakojima on New Year’s Day.
The unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, which the ministry identified as a WZ-7 drone, flew from the East China Sea towards the Pacific Ocean before circling back and heading west, the ministry said in a statement.
The aircraft didn’t enter Japanese airspace, according to the statement. China’s foreign ministry didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment on Monday, a local holiday.
