U.S. and South Korean fighter jets had a rare confrontation in the Yellow Sea airspace

According to sources, on February 18, about 10 U.S. Air Force F-16 fighter jets conducted training in the Yellow Sea, where a rare confrontation occurred between U.S. and Chinese fighter jets. On that day, after receiving the report of this incident, South Korean Defense Minister Ahn Gi-hyun immediately called General Xavier Brunson, Commander of the Republic of Korea-U.S. Combined Forces Command and U.S. Forces Korea, to express protest. It was reported that the U.S. F-16 fighter jets flew into the airspace between South Korea's and China's air defense identification zones, prompting the Chinese military to send fighter jets to the scene, but no conflict occurred between the two sides. The U.S. forces had informed the South Korean military of the relevant plans before the exercise, but apparently did not detail specific details such as the purpose of the exercise.
