COPENHAGEN, March 19 (Reuters) - Estonia has summoned the Russian charge d’affaires after a Russian fighter jet violated the Baltic country’s airspace on March 18, Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna said on Thursday.
The violation occurred near Vaindloo Island in the Gulf of Finland, off Estonia’s northern coast, where a Russian SU-30 fighter aircraft entered Estonian airspace and remained for around one minute, Estonia’s foreign ministry said.
“The violation was responded to by a unit of the Italian Air Force, and there was no threat to Estonia’s security,” Tsahkna said.
