In its morning edition on Wednesday, Japan's Asahi Shimbun reported on an incident on Tuesday, involving an airplane owned by the newspaper that was stopped from entering Korean airspace by South Korean authorities.
The newspaper explained, the flight was intended to take photographs of the sea area near the Dokdo islets and that it had no intentions to enter Korean airspace.
The Japanese daily added its aircraft did not violate Korean airspace, as the plane changed route and returned to Japan after Korean authorities denied their request to enter the area.
The newspaper offered its apologies to related authorities for causing trouble, saying the misunderstanding arose because the plane approached the sensitive territory without confirming with Korean authorities.
The islets located in the East Sea are at the center of a territorial dispute between the two countries.
