A Chinese civilian aircraft briefly crossed the Northern Limit Line in the Yellow Sea en route to Incheon International Airport.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff reported that China Eastern Airlines flight MU559, which departed from Qingdao, China, on Monday, briefly crossed the Northern Limit Line (NLL).
The aircraft did not enter North Korean airspace and promptly turned around to land at Incheon Airport. It is a rare occasion for a Chinese civilian aircraft to cross the Northern Limit Line (NLL).
A military official said, “Our military has taken necessary measures,” and added, “There were no unusual movements from North Korea related to this incident.”
