Gdansk: Two Russian fighter jets breached the safety zone of a Polish drilling platform in the Baltic Sea, as reported by the country's border guards. The incident occurred on Friday, causing immediate notification to the armed forces and related services.
According to Anadolu Agency, the Polish Border Guard shared the information on US social media company X, stating, "Two Russian fighter jets performed a low pass over the Petrobaltic platform in the Baltic Sea. The platform's safety zone was violated." This event highlights ongoing tensions in the region.
The incident with the Polish platform coincided with Estonia's report of three Russian MiG-31 jets entering its airspace for 12 minutes. Estonia described this incursion as 'unprecedentedly brazen,' prompting a response from NATO fighters, who forced the Russian aircraft to withdraw. The simultaneous occurrences have raised concerns about regional security and airspace integrity.
