Chinese carrier sails between Japan s islands
Japan s Defense Ministry has confirmed that a Chinese aircraft carrier group, led by the Liaoning, has returned to the East China Sea from the Pacific, after passing through waters between two Japanese islands.
The ministry says the Maritime Self-Defense Force confirmed that during the period from Monday to Tuesday the Liaoning, accompanied by five other vessels, sailed northward between Okinawa s main island and Miyakojima Island, and then entered the East China Sea.
Early in April, the fleet was seen sailing south in the same area and entering the Pacific.
This is the second time that the Chinese aircraft carrier has passed between the two Japanese islands on a round trip.
