Two Chinese coast guard ships were spotted sailing off the Japan-controlled Senkaku Islands in the East China Sea over the weekend, according to local media outlets, citing Japanese coast guard officials.

Two Haijing ships entered the area off the Senkaku Islands on June 18 and shadowed a Japanese fishing boat sailing in the area. The Chinese vessels departed from the area at about 11:25 a.m. local time on June 19, The Japan Times reported.
