A NATO reconnaissance aircraft has been observed over neutral waters of the Black Sea for the second time since the beginning of the month, a source in EU air traffic control services told TASS.
"A NATO Bombardier Artemis II aircraft is again flying over neutral waters in the southern part of the Black Sea," the source said.
The source added that the Bombardier Artemis II aircraft was previously spotted over the Black Sea on Monday, August 3, when it completed a record-breaking nine-hour flight.
Also, on August 2, the reconnaissance aircraft circled the Estonian coast of the Gulf of Finland several times and made several passes over central Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia.
On Tuesday, the aircraft was also spotted near Russia’s Kaliningrad Region, which it circled using the airspace of Poland and Lithuania, as well as areas over the Baltic Sea’s neutral waters.
