SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Two former Chinese military servicemembers were arrested in South Korea for alleged espionage, accused of acts including intercepting communications between fighter jets and ground control and collecting information on movements of U.S. armaments, police said Tuesday.
Police said he previously served in the Chinese military but refused to disclose further details about his identify.
Police said he violated laws on aiding the enemy and protecting military installations in South Korea.
The police announcement came a day after South Korean and U.S. militaries said they would start large-scale annual exercises next week.
The U.S. stations about 28,500 troops in South Korea to help deter potential aggressions from North Korea.
