Three Russian jets breached Estonia’s airspace on Friday, as confirmed by the Estonian Foreign Ministry. The violation prompted the country to take action by summoning Russia’s chargé d’affaires in response to the incident.

The airspace violation, involving three Russian aircraft, occurred despite international agreements and protocols governing airspace sovereignty. Estonia’s reaction underscores the seriousness with which such breaches are treated by the country’s authorities.

In a statement following the incident, a spokesperson from the Estonian Foreign Ministry emphasized the importance of upholding airspace integrity and adherence to established international norms. The ministry reiterated Estonia’s commitment to safeguarding its airspace and ensuring respect for its territorial boundaries.

Incidents of airspace violations are not uncommon in the region, given the proximity of Estonia to Russian airspace. Such events often raise concerns about security and adherence to established protocols governing airspace integrity.

While the Russian government has not issued a public statement regarding the airspace violation, the incident is likely to prompt discussions between the two countries to address the breach and prevent future occurrences. Authorities in Estonia continue to monitor the situation closely to ensure the security and sovereignty of their airspace.
