Overflights of Turkish fighter jets over islets in northern Aegean
For the fifth time this year, Turkish fighter jets flew over the Greek islets of Anthropofagoi and Makronisi which belong to the island cluster of Fournoi in the northern Aegean, the General Staff said on Monday.
In particular, six Turkish F-16s entered Athens' FIR between the islands of Chios and Lesvos at 13:11pm without submitting a flight plan and flew over Anthropofagoi, at a height of only 500 feet.
When they were exiting Athens' FIR at 13:38 pm, the same Turkish jets flew over Makronisi at 9,000 feet and at 13:42 they flew again over Anthropofagoi at 8,000 feet.
The Turkish military jets left Athens' FIR at 13:44pm, south of Samos. They were identified and intercepted by Greek fighter jets.
