The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) said it detected another Russian plane flying near Alaska on Tuesday and was forced to scramble U.S. military jets to respond, in what was the fourth time in about a week that Russia had flown planes near the state.

NORAD said a Russian military IL-20 surveillance aircraft was detected flying near the Alaskan Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ).
