American military personnel piloting aircraft over the Pacific Ocean have been targeted in a series of apparent attacks reminiscent of previous, more serious Chinese military operations.
According to The Wall Street Journal, nearly two dozen incidents in recent months share the same troubling details.
Lasers originating from the East China Sea and surrounding areas were aimed at the aircraft, according to multiple U.S. military sources. The first known incident was in September and the latest came in recent weeks.
Experts believe additional attacks likely occurred but went unreported by the pilots involved.
