Chinese fighter jets directed fire-control radar at Japanese military aircraft near Japan's Okinawa islands in two incidents, Japan's defence minister said on Sunday, condemning the move as "dangerous".

"These radar illuminations went beyond what is necessary for the safe flight of aircraft," Shinjiro Koizumi posted on X, adding that Japan had lodged a protest with China over Saturday's "regrettable" incident.

A fire-control radar lock is one of the most threatening acts a military aircraft can take because it signals a potential attack, forcing the targeted aircraft to take evasive action.
