(MENAFN) Russia has asserted that a recent flight by three MiG-31 fighter jets, which flew from Karelia to the Kaliningrad region, fully complied with international aviation protocols and did not intrude into the airspace of neighboring countries.

In a statement released via its Telegram channel on Saturday, the Russian Ministry of Defense clarified that the redeployment flight on Friday had been pre-planned and was conducted under comprehensive monitoring systems. These systems confirmed that the jets did not breach any international borders.

The statement follows a protest from Estonia's Foreign Ministry, which summoned Russia's charge d'affaires on Friday over an alleged airspace breach by Russian aircraft.
