S. Korean video on Japan radar dispute to be available in 8 languages
- 5 years ago
South Korea is planning to release a video in six more languages... aiming to refute claims by Japan that one of its planes was locked on by a South Korean warship's targeting radar.
The video is already on YouTube in Korean and English, but an official at the defense ministry says there are versions in the works in Japanese, Chinese, French, Russian, Spanish and Arabic.
In the video, the defense ministry says the South Korean destroyer did not target the Japanese plane and was on a humanitarian mission in the East Sea to rescue a North Korean boat in distress.
It also says the Japanese plane's low-altitude flight was "threatening."
The South Korean defense ministry says it wants to prevent the spread of misunderstandings after Japan's release of a video about the incident that it says distorts the facts.
