Today, 19 September, the Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the chargé d'affaires of the Russian Federation in Estonia to lodge a protest and deliver a note concerning the violation of Estonia's airspace that occurred on 19 September.
The incursion took place over the Gulf of Finland, where three Russian Federation MIG-31 fighter aircraft entered Estonian airspace without permission and remained there for a total of 12 minutes.
"Russia has already violated Estonia's airspace four times this year, which in itself is unacceptable. But today's incursion, involving three fighter aircraft entering our airspace, is unprecedentedly brazen," said Foreign Minister Tsahkna. "Russia's increasingly extensive testing of boundaries and growing aggressiveness must be met with a swift increase in political and economic pressure."
The Estonian Defence Forces also reported the violation.
