Japanese coast guard says 3 Chinese patrol ships have entered Japanese territorial waters off the Senkaku Islands in the 2nd such intrusion this year.
Coast guard officials say the ships entered Japanese waters off Uotsuri Island on Monday morning and stayed there for about one and a half hours.
They say the vessels moved to the contiguous zone just outside of the territorial waters by noon.
The coast guard is warning the ships not to reenter the waters. A similar intrusion took place on January 7th.
Japan controls the Senkaku Islands. The government maintains the islands are an inherent part of Japan's territory. China and Taiwan claim them.
