The Pentagon has recorded 20 incidents since last September where lasers — believed to be Chinese — have been used to target U. S. aircraft in the Pacific, CNN reported on Friday
A military spokeswoman told CNN the most recent suspected laser attacks have happened in and around the East China Sea around busy shipping routes near disputed island chains. She said that the latest incident happened in the last two weeks.
None of the incidents have resulted in any injuries or medical complaints.
The attacks are similar to instances in April, where personnel at the Chinese military base in Djibouti used lasers to interfere with U. S. military aircraft.
Two pilots received minor injured in those attacks, which the Pentagon called “very serious incidents.
