The Italian air force said Friday it had intercepted unidentified planes flying over international waters in the Baltic Sea, and two defense sources in Rome identified them as Russian planes.
The two interceptions were carried out on Thursday and Friday morning by Italian Eurofighter aircraft based at the Polish base of Malbork as part of a NATO air policing mission, a statement said.
After finishing their activities, the Italian jets returned to the Polish base, the Air Force added, without providing further details.
The two defense sources said the Russian planes were detected by radar but did not respond to radio signals and communications requests.
