Chinese missile destroyers pass near Okinawa
NAHA, Japan, Dec. 13, Kyodo
Six Chinese missile destroyers from the Pacific passed waters between Okinawa's main island and Miyako Islands in southwestern Japan into the East China Sea on Friday, the Defense Ministry's Joint Staff office said Saturday.
The vessels, considered part of a naval exercise that China has announced it is conducting in the Pacific, did not enter the territorial waters of Japan.
The six missile destroyers -- recognized as Zhengzhou 151, Taizhou 138, Zhoushan 529, Yiyang 548, Qiandao Hu 886, and Beijixing 851 -- were conducting drills for the landing and taking off of helicopters, and for offshore supplies, in the western Pacific Ocean, the ministry said.
