Chinese warplanes fired flares in front of a Canadian military helicopter over international waters of the South China Sea on Sunday, an operation that Canadian military officers said was dangerous and could have had caused significant damage.

The incident was the second of two encounters the Ottawa’s helicopter had with Chinese People’s Liberation Army Navy J-11 fighter jets over international waters on October 29, which saw the fighters get as close as 100 feet from the helicopter, said Maj. Rob Millen, air officer aboard the Royal Canadian Navy frigate HMCS Ottawa, the warship from which the Sikorsky Cyclone helicopter was flying.
