Tallinn: Estonia has accused Russia of carrying out one of the most serious airspace violations in recent years after three Russian MiG-31 fighter jets allegedly entered Estonian territory over the Gulf of Finland. Tallinn said the jets flew inside its airspace for about 12 minutes near Vaindloo Island before returning to international airspace, prompting an immediate diplomatic and military response.

Estonia described the incident as “unprecedentedly brazen” and announced that it had formally requested an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council. The session is scheduled for September 22, where Estonia will present its evidence of the incursion. At the same time, Tallinn invoked NATO’s Article 4, calling for urgent consultations among allies over the security threat.
