A group of four Russian military aircraft flew in the Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) on Sunday evening and Monday morning, according to the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD).
This is breaking news that will be updated as more information becomes available. Keep reading below.
NORAD said the Russian planes “remained in international airspace and did not enter American or Canadian sovereign airspace,” adding that the activity is common and “not seen as a threat.”
“An ADIZ begins where sovereign airspace ends and is a defined stretch of international airspace that requires the ready identification of all aircraft in the interest of national security,” NORAD said.
“NORAD employs a layered defense network of satellites, ground-based and airborne radars and fighter aircraft to track aircraft and inform appropriate actions. NORAD remains ready to employ a number of response options in defense of North America,” officials added.
