B: Oh, no way! What happened exactly?

A: Well, they claimed that an Australian military plane intruded into their airspace. But don't worry, this isn't the first time something like this has happened – there was a similar incident back in February.
B: Wow, I can't imagine how scary that must be for them up there! What's Australia going to do about it?
A: Their defense minister said they'll stay on guard and remain vigilant. But it seems like this could be a bit of a tricky situation.
