Estonia seeks Nato consultation after Russian jets violate airspace
Estonia seeks Nato consultation after Russian jets violate airspace. Estonia condemned the incident as "brazen" after three Russian MiG-31 fighter jets entered Estonian skies without permission. Amid escalating tensions, Nato responded by intercepting the Russian aircraft, prompting Estonia to call for unity among Nato members in response to this "clear provocation." The move comes in the wake of heightened conflict between Nato and Russia since Moscow's invasion of Ukraine, with Estonia requesting urgent Nato Article 4 consultations to strengthen collective defense.
