Russian Jets Briefly Enter Estonian Airspace Prompting Trump Warning

President Donald Trump expressed concern over reports that Russian fighter jets violated Estonian airspace, calling the incident "big trouble" and indicating he would receive a briefing soon. The incursion involved three Russian MiG-31 jets entering Estonian airspace for about 12 minutes before being intercepted and turned back by NATO aircraft, which Estonia's Prime Minister Kristen Michal described as a forced retreat. Russia denied any violation, asserting their aircraft flew over neutral Baltic Sea waters and adhered to international rules. NATO and allied leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, condemned the Russian actions as provocative and irresponsible, pledging support for Estonia and a decisive response. This incident follows recent tensions in the region, including NATO planes downing Russian drones over Poland, raising fears of the Ukraine conflict spilling over NATO borders. Trump's remarks highlight continued U.S. attention and concern about Russian military maneuvers near NATO allies.
