Three Russian fighter jets violated Estonian airspace Friday in a move the Baltic nation called "unprecedentedly brazen" and that appears to be the latest test of NATO's defenses by the Kremlin's forces.

NATO aircraft intercepted the jets, the military alliance's spokesperson Allison Hart said on X.

Asked about the violation at a press gathering on Friday afternoon, President Donald Trump said, "I don't love it. I don't like when that happens. This could be big trouble."

Trump added that he was going to be briefed on the details of the incident a short time after the press gathering.

The incursion occurred over the Gulf of Finland, where the MiG-31 fighter aircraft entered Estonian airspace without permission and remained there for a total of 12 minutes, according to the Estonian Ministry of Defense.
