Russia has said two of its missile carriers flew off the coast of Alaska in the latest incident of Moscow’s military aircraft operating near the United States.
Russia’s defense ministry posted on Telegram that two Tupolev Tu-95MS planes had carried out a flight “over the neutral waters of the Bering Sea near the western coast of Alaska.”
Next to the statement on Tuesday was a 60-second video of two aircraft taking off interspersed with footage from the cockpit.
It was not immediately clear if the incident was linked to a statement by North American Aerospace Defense Command on Monday that four Russian military aircraft had passed through the Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) where they remained in international airspace and no intercept was required.
Newsweek has contacted the Russian defense ministry and NORAD for comment.
This is a breaking news story and will be updated.
