(Reuters) - Russian fighter jets did not violate Estonian airspace and flew over neutral waters of the Baltic Sea in proceeding from northwest Russia to the Russian Baltic exclave of Kaliningrad, the Russian Defence Ministry said early on Saturday.
The government of NATO member Estonia said three Russian military jets violated its airspace for 12 minutes in an "unprecedentedly brazen" incursion. The incident occurred just over a week after more than 20 Russian drones entered Polish airspace, some downed by NATO jets.
