Italian Eurofighters intercepted Russian aircraft twice during a NATO air control mission over the Baltic Sea in the past 24 hours, according to Italian sources. The interceptions, conducted by the 4th Wing Task Force deployed at the Polish base in Malbork, were prompted by alerts from the NATO command centre in Uedem, Germany.

Unidentified aircraft flying over international waters triggered the alerts, with the Italian F-2000s returning to base after identification.

In other news related to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, fragments of a Russian drone were discovered in Romania, and Polish Premier Donald Tusk warned of an impending war.
