China’s navy engaged in ‘unsafe’ actions, says Australia

The Australian defence minister accused a Chinese warship of engaging in unsafe and unprofessional actions during an encounter near Japan. The Chinese warship emitted unsafe sonar pulses after approaching an Australian frigate with divers in the water. The divers suffered minor injuries likely caused by the sonar. Australian officials expect all countries, including China, to operate their militaries in a professional and safe manner. The incident took place within Japan’s Exclusive Economic Zone, and tensions between Australia and China continue to persist.
