SEOUL (Reuters) – A South Korean fighter jet conducted a patrol flight over an island whose ownership is disputed by Japan, a South Korean Air Force pilot said on Tuesday.
A video of the pilot reporting the patrol flight was played in a ceremony marking the founding of the South Korean military.
The island, called Dokdo in South Korea and Takeshima in Japan, is claimed by both countries as part of their territory.
