Chinese maritime surveillance vessels intruded into Japanese waters Sunday near the Senkaku Islands, a Japanese-controlled islet group claimed by China, the Japan Coast Guard said. The three ships were observed entering the territorial waters in the East China Sea around 11 a.m. in the 42nd such incident since Tokyo nationalized the majority of the uninhibited islets last September, according to the coast guard which said its patrol ships warned by radio for them to get out.
