Two Russian military aircraft—an Su-30 fighter and an Il-78 refueling tanker—entered NATO member Lithuania’s airspace on Oct. 23 for roughly 18 seconds, according to Lithuania’s military.

The military said the two aircraft were potentially on a refueling training mission when they flew more than 2,000 feet into Lithuanian airspace from the Kaliningrad region at roughly 15:00 GMT.
