The PLA air force yesterday said no Myanmese jets had entered Chinese territory during raids on Kachin rebels. The statement came in response to reports that Myanmese fighters had mistakenly entered Chinese air space after armed conflict broke out in northern Myanmar. According to the statement, the closest Myanmese jets had flown to the border was five kilometres. The Foreign Ministry confirmed on Friday that three Myanmese bombs had landed in China on December 30. Xinhua
