"Air Policing jets on June 16 in international airspace above the Baltic Sea near LV border identified RU AF 1x A-50, Il-20, An-26; 2x MiG-31.," the report says.

At the same time, the airspace of the Baltic States was not violated, the Latvian military said.

As reported earlier, the activity of Russian military aircraft in the Baltic region has tripled over the last year, with NATO forces intercepting Russian planes more than 150 times.
