Two Chinese fighters have carried out an "unsafe" intercept of a US military aircraft over the South China Sea, the Pentagon says.
The incident happened in "international airspace" on 17 May as the US maritime patrol reconnaissance aircraft carried out "a routine US patrol" in the area, it added.
Washington has accused Beijing of militarising the South China Sea.
China in turn has criticised increased US naval patrols and exercises in Asia.
