Australia Condemns Chinese Sonar Incidents Injuring Navy Divers

Australia has accused a Chinese warship of conducting an "unsafe and unprofessional" interaction that resulted in injuries to Australian navy divers. The incident occurred when the Australian vessel, HMAS Toowoomba, was conducting a diving operation in Japan's exclusive economic zone. Despite notifying the Chinese warship and requesting it to keep clear, the destroyer approached at a closer range and operated its sonar in a manner that posed a risk to the divers. Medical assessments found minor injuries likely caused by the destroyer's sonar pulses. Australia has expressed serious concerns to China and expects all countries, including China, to operate their militaries in a professional and safe manner.
