NATO has slammed Russia for what it describes as a violation of Estonian airspace last week, declaring its intention to employ military and non-military measures to protect allied territories.

The breach involved three Russian MiG-31 fighter jets, which entered Estonian skies before being escorted out by NATO fighters. NATO officials suspect the act was a test of its response strategies following a similar drone incursion in Polish airspace.

During a meeting under Article 4 of NATO's founding treaty, the alliance's members reiterated their commitment to Ukraine's self-defense and condemned Russia's recent escalations, emphasizing their resolve to deter all threats.
