Pentagon: China will return US Navy underwater drone seized in South China Sea
US Navy
"We have registered our objection to China's unlawful seizure of a U.S. unmanned underwater vehicle operating in international waters in the South China Sea. Through direct engagement with Chinese authorities, we have secured an understanding that the Chinese will return the UUV to the United States," Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook said in a statement.
The US Navy drone was seized while collecting unclassified scientific data about 57 nautical miles northwest of Subic Bay near the Philippines in the South China Sea, Navy Capt. Jeff Davis, a Pentagon spokesman told reporters on Friday.
"It is ours. It's clearly marked as ours. We would like it back, and we would like this not to happen again," Davis added.
