Good morning readers. We’re following news about three Russian fighter jets having violated NATO member Estonia’s airspace in an unusually long 12-minute incursion.
Estonia then requested NATO Article 4 consultations after the intrusion and NATO’s principal political decision-making body is set to convene early next week to discuss the incident.
European leaders have condemned the incident, which came after NATO jets shot down Russian drones that entered Polish airspace on the night of September 9-10.
The European Union’s foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas called Friday’s incursion “an extremely dangerous provocation” that “further escalates tensions in the region.”
Stay with us for the latest developments.
