Three Russian MiG-31 jets entered Estonian airspace and remained there for 12 minutes before NATO intercepted the aircraft using Italian F-35s alongside Swedish and Finnish planes. NATO launched Eastern Sentry in September to strengthen defenses along the eastern flank.

Tsahkna urged a swift increase in political and economic pressure to counter Russia's boundary testing and aggressiveness. Ukraine's president demanded a systematic response, while Russia's Defense Ministry denied any airspace violation.
