16:58, 5 February 2013
BEIJING. February 5. KAZINFORM A Chinese vessel has locked its weapon-targeting radar on a Japanese ship, Tokyo says, amid mounting tensions over a territorial row.

Japanese Defence Minister Itsunori Onodera said the incident happened on 30 January near islands claimed by both nations in the East China Sea, Kazinform refers to BBC.
He said this prompted Tokyo to lodge a formal protest with Beijing on Tuesday.
The row, over islands known as Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China, has escalated in recent months.
