Details

According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the intrusion occurred over the Gulf of Finland, where three MiG-31 fighters of the Russian Federation entered Estonian airspace without permission and remained there for a total of 12 minutes.

Russia has already violated Estonian airspace four times this year, which in itself is unacceptable. But today's intrusion, involving three fighters that entered our airspace, is unprecedentedly brazen 

– said Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna.

According to him, "Russia's increasingly large-scale testing of borders and growing aggressiveness must be met with a rapid increase in political and economic pressure."

The Estonian armed forces also reported the violation.
