Estonia protests 'unacceptable' Russian violation of its airspace

The Estonian Foreign Ministry said it had summoned the Russian ambassador on Wednesday and lodged a formal protest with him over the violation of its airspace by a Russian helicopter on Tuesday.

"Estonia considers this a very serious, unfortunate and totally unacceptable incident," the ministry said in a statement, adding that the plane flew over a point in the southeast of the small Baltic country without permission.

Estonia filed a complaint about a similar incident with Moscow in June.
