The Chinese regime allegedly sent two fighter jets to intercept a U.S. military plane in international airspace in the South China Sea.

A statement from the Department of Defense (DoD) sent by email says that on May 17, two “tactical aircraft” were sent by the Chinese regime to intercept a U.S. maritime patrol reconnaissance aircraft. It says the DOD is reviewing the incident.
