CHINA'S air force issued a statement yesterday saying no Myanmarese jets have entered Chinese territory.
This was in response to reports that Myanmarese fighter jets mistakenly entered Chinese airspace after fighting broke out in northern Myanmar.
According to the statement, China's air force has heightened surveillance across the China-Myanmar border since the conflict began. The closest Myanmarese jets are 5 kilometers from the border.
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying confirmed on Friday that three bombs landed in China on December 30 during fighting between the Myanmar military and the Kachin Independence Army.
Hua said China made representations to Myanmar afterwards.
