Estonia requested an emergency UN Security Council meeting after three Russian MiG-31 fighter jets violated its airspace on Friday. The jets spent 12 minutes in Estonian airspace before NATO interception. Estonia's Foreign Minister called the incident a violation of international law. Russia denies the incursion. The meeting is scheduled for Monday, with Ukraine also seeking to participate. Estonia has also requested NATO Article 4 consultations following the incident, the second such request in recent days.
