BEIJING (Reuters) - A group of Chinese warships spotted in the high seas near the southern Japanese island of Okinawa last week were just on a routine training exercise, China's Defence Ministry said on Thursday.

Two submarines and eight vessels were spotted on Saturday about 140 km (90 miles) southwest of Okinawa, the first time Japan has confirmed the presence of Chinese submarines and such a large number of vessels in the area, Japanese officials said.

Okinawa is where U.S. bases are concentrated in Japan.
