South Korea on Sunday declared an expanded air defence zone that overlaps with one recently announced by China that has sharply increased regional tensions.
Seoul's defence ministry said its new zone, which will take effect on December 15, would cover Ieodo -- a submerged rock reef in waters off its south coast which China calls Suyan.
