The Japanese defence minister said the flights took place while leaders from the United States, India, Australia and Japan held talks on regional security.

The planes did not breach territorial airspace, the defence ministry said. This is the fourth time since November that long-distance joint flights by Russia and China have been spotted near Japan.
