Russia denies Estonian accusations of airspace violation, criticizes Tallinn for stoking confrontation.

The UN Security Council will hold an emergency meeting at Estonia's request to discuss an alleged incursion by a Russian MiG-31 fighter jet.

Estonia has requested consultations with NATO under Article 4 of the alliance's charter, following an alleged incursion into its airspace by three Russian MiG-31 fighter jets.

The Estonian government has accused three Russian MiG-31 fighter jets of violating its airspace for 12 minutes, calling it an "unprecedented and brazen act".

A Ukrainian drone veered off course and exploded in Estonian airspace, causing no casualties, officials said.
