South Korea scrambled fighter jets on Dec. 22 after several Chinese warplanes and more than a dozen Russian aircraft entered its air defense zone.

The South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff said the incident may have been a “joint military drill between China and Russia,” but noted that “further analysis” is needed, according to Reuters.
