Estonia says UN Security Council to meet over Russian air incursion

Estonia’s foreign ministry said Sunday that UN Security Council would hold an emergency meeting this week following the incursion of three Russian aircraft into its airspace.
Three Russian MiG-31 fighters violated Estonian airspace over the Gulf of Finland on Friday, triggering complaints of a dangerous new provocation from the European Union and NATO but a denial from Moscow.
Italian F-35 fighters attached to NATO’s air defense support mission in the Baltic states, along with Swedish and Finnish aircraft, were scrambled to intercept the Russian jets and warn them off.
