Malaysia's air force scrambled jets to intercept 16 Chinese military aircraft off the country's coast in the South China Sea, a rare incident officials said Tuesday threatened "national sovereignty".

The incident took place Monday off the Malaysian part of Borneo island over the fiercely contested waters, where China and Malaysia have overlapping territorial claims.

The Chinese air force transport planes approached Malaysian airspace in "tactical formation" and flew to within about 60 nautical miles of the coast, Malaysia's air force said in a statement.

They were spotted by radar and several attempts were made to contact the planes.
