Norad says it has intercepted Chinese, Russian aircraft near Alaskan airspace
OTTAWA — Norad says Canadian and American fighter jets have intercepted a group of Russian and Chinese planes flying near Alaska.
The North American Aerospace Defence Command says the planes were detected and tracked on Wednesday.
The planes stayed in international airspace and their activity is not seen as a threat.
U.S. officials say it’s the first time Norad has intercepted aircraft from the two countries together.
