Japan says two Chinese ships have sailed into disputed waters off the East China Sea, two days after US President Barack Obama declared his support for Japan.

The Chinese coastguards entered the 12-nautical-mile territorial waters off one of the Senkaku islands, which China claims and calls Diaoyus, at around noon local time (0300 GMT) on Saturday, according to a statement by Japan’s coastguard.
