Three Russian military jets on Friday violated NATO member Estonia’s airspace for 12 minutes in an “unprecedentedly brazen” incursion, its government said, the latest in a series of recent military actions by Russia that have rattled the alliance. NATO responded immediately and intercepted the Russian aircraft. “This is yet another example of reckless Russian behaviour and NATO’s ability to respond,” a NATO spokesperson said on X.

The incursion came just over a week after more than 20 Russian drones entered Polish airspace, prompting NATO jets to down some of them and Western officials to say Russia was testing the alliance’s readiness and resolve.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
