Estonia says UN Security Council to meet over Russian air incursionby AFP Staff WritersTallinn (AFP) Sept 21, 2025Estonia said Sunday the UN Security Council would hold an emergency meeting on the violation of the country's airspace by Russian fighter jets, an incursion condemned by US President Donald Trump. The Security Council will convene an emergency session Monday "in response to Russia's brazen violation of Estonian airspace", said a statement from the Estonian foreign ministry. The alleged Russian incursion came with tensions high on NATO's eastern border, after Warsaw last week complained that around 20 Russian drones overflew its territory -- though the Kremlin denied targeting Poland. Italy assumed command of the NATO Baltic Air Policing mission -- Operation Baltic Eagle III -- on August 1, with the Italian air force's F-35 aircraft taking responsibility for surveillance of Baltic airspace. It also did not have a flight plan, its transponder was turned off and it did not communicate with Estonian air traffic control.
