Turkey on Sunday accused Russia of a fresh violation of its airspace, warning Moscow it would “face consequences” as relations between the two countries hit a new post-Cold War low.
The Turkish foreign ministry said a Russian Su-34 plane violated Turkish airspace at 09:46 GMT today despited repeated warnings from Turkish air radar units in Russian and English.
The Russian defence ministry dismissed the claim as “baseless propaganda”.
Ties between Ankara and Moscow plummeted after Turkey, a key NATO member, shot down a Russian fighter jet on the Syrian border in November, sparking a war of words with Russia which insisted its plane had not crossed into Turkish airspace.
