#Russia says it has prevented two #US #bombers from "violating" the Russian state border over the #Baltic Sea by sending two #FighterJets. The Defense Ministry in Moscow said it had dispatched #Su27 and #Su35 aircraft and "identified air targets as two US Air Force B-1B strategic bombers."

"The violation of the state border was prevented," the ministry said. After mission, the Russian fighter planes "returned safely to their air base".
