Russian military aircraft flew into an area that’s monitored by U.S. military officials in Alaska at least three times in recent days, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) confirmed this week.

NORAD’s Alaska division detected, tracked, and identified Russian surveillance aircraft entering and operating within the Alaskan Air Defense Identification Zone, according to a Twitter statement from the military agency. It occurred on three separate occasions in the past week, said NORAD on Thursday.
