A Chinese military frigate locked weapons-targeting radar on a
Japanese navy vessel, Tokyo's defence minister said Tuesday, in an
apparent upping of the stakes in a bitter territorial row.
The move, described by the minister and a Japanese analyst as
"dangerous", marks the first time the two nation's navies have locked
horns in a dispute that has some commentators warning about a possible
armed conflict.
"On January 30, something like fire-control radar was directed at a
Japan Self-Defense Maritime escort ship in the East China Sea," Itsunori
Onodera told reporters in Tokyo.
"The defence ministry today confirmed radar for targeting was used."
Onodera said a Japanese military helicopter was also locked with a
similar radar on January 19. He did not specify whether the helicopter
was airborne or on the deck of a ship at the time.
