Happening off-Campus: Estonia accused Russia of an “unprecedented and brazen intrusion” after three Russian MIG-31 fighter jets entered its airspace for 12 minutes on Friday. Estonia’s foreign minister Margus Tsahkna said the incursion, which followed multiple Russian airspace violations this year, is “clear proof of Russia’s growing aggression” and must be met with political and economic pressure. The incident occurred just a week after Russian drones entered Poland, prompting NATO forces to scramble jets. (NYT)
