The Estonian Defence Forces reported that a Russian Su-30 had violated Estonian airspace over the Gulf of Finland near Vaindloo island. The aircraft carried no published flight plan and made no two-way radio contact with Estonian air traffic control. Vaindloo is the same point at which three MiG-31s crossed for twelve minutes in September 2025.
An Italian Eurofighter on NATO Baltic Air Policing duty destroyed an unidentified drone over eastern Latvia before dawn on 14 August, the second time the alliance's quick-reaction force has shot one down over the country this year.
