Two Chinese Sukhoi Su-30 fighter jets came within 150 feet of a US Air Force WC-135 Constant Phoenix aircraft while it was flying in international airspace above the East China Sea on Wednesday, officials told CNN.

Officials told NBC News that the crew of the Constant Phoenix described the confrontation as “unprofessional.” The US crew said they were acting in full accordance with international law.

Officials reportedly did not address whether the Chinese maneuver was unsafe.

"The issue is being addressed with China through appropriate diplomatic and military channels," Air Force spokeswoman Lieutenant Colonel Lori Hodge told Reuters.

The four-engine WC-135, also known as a “nuke sniffer,” was based out of the Offutt Air Force Base in Bellevue, Nebraska, according to KMTV.

The planes have been used in the past to collect evidence of nuclear tests conducted by North Korea, according to CNN.

In February, a Chinese KJ-200 aircraft came within 1,000 feet of a US Navy P-3 Orion aircraft over the China Sea. A spokesman for United States Pacific Command called that incident “unsafe,” according to DefenseNews.
