BEIJING, Aug. 10 -- On August 8, the NC-212 aircraft of the Philippine Air Force illegally intruded the airspace of China's Huangyan Dao in South China Sea in spite of repeated warnings from the Chinese side, and disturbed China's normal training activities, according to a written statement released by the PLA Southern Theater Command on Saturday.

The PLA Southern Theater Command organized its maritime and aerial forces to conduct identification, verification, tracking, monitoring, warning, and drive away the aircraft in accordance with the law. The on-site operations of the PLA are professional and legitimate, the Theater Command pointed out.

"We warn the Philippine side to immediately stop its infringement, provocation, distortion and hype. China has indisputable sovereignty over Huangyan Dao and its adjacent waters," it stated.

The troops of the Theater Command remain on high alert at all times, resolutely defend the national sovereignty and security, and firmly uphold peace and stability in South China Sea, the Theater Command stressed in the end.
