Regarding this, a senior official from defense department said, "A Royal Australian Air Force AP-3C Orion was conducting a routine maritime patrol in the region as part of Operation Gateway from November 25th to December 4th.
We are an Australian aircraft and when we are finding regarding the navigation factors we find this Chinese navy across the passage. We have flown across international airspace and there is nothing wrong about it." Regarding this incident, China never made any statement so far. Their officials were requested to provide an explanation.
