Australia watches three Chinese warships in its waters, following a recent "unsafe" encounter in the South China Sea.

Australian authorities are monitoring three Chinese warships that have entered the country's exclusive economic zone near the northeast coast. This comes after a recent incident where a Chinese fighter jet released flares close to an Australian surveillance plane in the South China Sea, described as "unsafe and unprofessional." No injuries were reported. The Australian government has expressed concerns to China, emphasizing the need for safe and professional military operations. Defense Minister Richard Marles has ordered increased monitoring of the Chinese naval vessels.
