WARSAW (Reuters) - Two Russian fighter jets violated the safety zone of the Petrobaltic drilling platform in the Baltic sea, Polish Border Guards said on Friday, adding that the Armed Forces and other services had been notified.
Estonia earlier said three Russian military jets had entered its airspace on Friday for 12 minutes in an "unprecedentedly brazen" incursion, amid rising tensions on NATO's eastern flank.
The Polish Border Guard wrote on X: "Two Russian fighter jets performed a low pass over the Petrobaltic platform in the Baltic Sea. The platform's safety zone was violated."
Last week Poland shot down suspected Russian drones in its airspace with the backing of aircraft from its NATO allies, the first time a member of the Western military alliance is known to have fired shots during Russia's war in Ukraine.
