Russian military jets ‘violate’ Estonian airspace, officials say

Russian military jets have violated Estonian airspace, officials have said. In a statement, the Estonian government said the incident involved three Russian MiG-31 fighter jets that flew over the Gulf of Finland for a total of 12 minutes without permission. Foreign minister Margus Tsahkna said Russia had already violated Estonian airspace four times this year, “which is unacceptable in itself, but today’s violation, during which three fighter jets entered our airspace, is unprecedentedly brazen”.
