The missiles fell in waters outside of Japan\u2019s exclusive economic zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chinese and Russian strategic bombers conducted joint flights near Japan on Tuesday, Japan\u2019s Defense Ministry said. Biden was meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and their counterparts from India and Australia for the Quad, an Indo-Pacific security and economic coalition meant as a counterweight to China\u2019s growing influence in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chinese H-6 bombers joined Russian TU-95s over the Sea of Japan and flew to areas over the East China Sea, but did not violate Japanese airspace, Japanese Defense Minister Nobuo Kishi said. Separately, a Russian IL-20 reconnaissance plane was spotted flying off the northern Japanese coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Chinese-Russian joint flight represented an \u201cincreased level of provocation\u201d and a threat to the Quad, Kishi said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">China said the flights were over the the Sea of Japan, the East China Sea and the western Pacific. Defense Ministry spokesperson Wu Qian said it was a \u201croutine joint strategic air patrol\u201d that has been carried out four times since 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis operation is not aimed at a third party and has nothing to do with the current international and regional situation,\u201d he said in a video statement posted Wednesday on the Defense Ministry website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chinese and Russian strategic bombers conducted joint flights near Japan on Tuesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":97449,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":8,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[101,8,23,89,12,26],"tags":[],"coauthors":[1191],"class_list":["post-60491","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-news-roundup","category-flashpoints","category-home","category-middle-column","category-news","category-newsletters"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"UO5CDYZC6BGDRERDVXPMOHINPU","arc_canonical_url":"\/flashpoints\/2022\/05\/26\/japan-us-fly-fighters-after-china-drill-n-korean-missiles\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Japan, US fly fighters after China drill, N.
