According to a latest report, China Defence Ministry says that it has recently monitored the flight of two US bombers, across the area, which has been prohibited according to the Chinese air defence rules.

It has recently been revealed by the sources of China that they have witnessed these US bombers flying across China's newly-declared `air defence identification zone'.

According to the China Defence Ministry, these two B-52 planes were found flying over the disputed islands in the East China Sea. It has also been revealed by the ministry that these planes were sighted on Tuesday. Also, the ministry claims that these planes were flying without any prior information or announcement over the prohibited area.

It has also been claimed by the China Defence Ministry that these planes have as a result defied the new Chinese air defence rules.

According to sources, Japan as well as the US strongly opposed to the air zone newly declared by China.

Both the countries have very strongly accused China of unanimously attempting to alter the status quo and shoot up regional tensions.

According to sources, the newly announced air zone by China laps over the air zone set by Japan. Also, that area covers those disputed islands which are originally controlled by Japan.
