A SU-30 Russian military fighter jet entered Estonian airspace for three minutes on Wednesday without posing a serious security threat, the Estonian foreign minister said.

The incident, which took place near the island of Vaindloo, was the first such incursion by Russia this year, Margus Tsahkna said at a news conference in Tallinn on Thursday.
