BRUSSELS (Reuters) - NATO's Secretary-General said on Tuesday he doubted Russia's explanation that its weekend violations of Turkey's airspace were a mistake because there were two such incursions and they lasted longer than just a few seconds.

"I will not speculate on the motives but this does not look like an accident... and we have two of them," Jens Stoltenberg told a news conference, referring to the incursions and noting their duration.
