The Estonian Foreign Ministry summoned Russian Ambassador Alexander Petrov on September 23 to present him with a note of protest over a violation of Estonia’s airspace by a Russian plane on Wednesday, the ministry told BNS.

The Estonian Foreign Ministry qualified the incident as an extremely reprehensible and serious one and warned that a string of repeated violations of the country’s air boundaries is unacceptable to it.
