An Australian Navy helicopter took evasive action in the Yellow Sea.

An Australian Navy helicopter was forced to take evasive action after a Chinese fighter jet released flares in its flight path in international waters in the Yellow Sea. The Australian Defence Department described the incident as "unsafe and unprofessional", stating that the flares posed a risk to the helicopter and its personnel. The Royal Australian Navy Seahawk helicopter was operating from HMAS Hobart as part of Australia's contribution to enforcing United Nations Security Council sanctions against North Korea. This marks another instance of Chinese aggression, following an incident in November when Australian navy divers were injured by sonar pulses from a Chinese warship in the South China Sea.
