NATO announced it scrambled fighter jets over both the Black and Baltic seas due to Russian aircraft flying near the military alliance’s airspace.

Over the past four days, NATO jets were scrambled several times in the two regions, the military alliance confirmed in a statement on Friday, to track and intercept the planes. The alliance said those aircraft belonged to the Russian military, although the models of the planes were not provided.
