6 Russian jets intercepted over Baltic Sea

The German Air Force said separately on Saturday that it had identified five Russian jets flying over the Baltic Sea and had deployed Eurofighters to escort them.

This is far from the first time Russian aircraft have wandered toward EU and NATO airspace. Earlier this month, Latvia’s defense ministry said a Russian drone crashed in the Rēzekne region in the east of the country, having flown in through Belarus. Latvia informed NATO about the incident.

Russian drones have also entered Romanian territory several times over the past few months, as Moscow continues to bomb the neighboring Odesa region in Ukraine.

Meanwhile, Kyiv’s air force said on Sunday that it had shot down 71 out of 80 Russian drones that were launched against Ukraine overnight.
