Incident over Estonia
The air space of Estonia was disrupted on Friday by three Russian military aircraft, which stayed there for about 12 minutes. Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tion recalled that Russia has disrupted the airspace of Estonia this year four times. He described Friday’s incident as “unprecedented insolent”. He added that the increasingly extensive testing of borders by Russia and its growing aggression requires a rapid increase in political and economic pressure on it.
Estonia is the third NATO country, which in recent weeks has reported a violation of its airspace by Russia. On Sunday, Romania announced that his airspace had disrupted the drone during the Russian attack on Ukraine. Last week, also during the attack of Russian forces on Ukraine, the airspace of Poland was disrupted.
