For the second time this year, a couple of Turkish F-16 aircraft flew over the Greek island of Kinaros at a height of 24,000 feet, according to a Greek Defense Ministry announcement.
The incident took place at 11:41 am on Wednesday, May 20, over the small island located east of Amorgos.
According to the Ministry announcement, the two aircraft split from a four-aircraft formation, which entered the Athens FIR at 11:23 am between Samos and Chios, and without reporting their flight plan, left the Greek airspace at 12:24 pm south of Chios.
The Turkish aircraft were recognized and intercepted by Greek fighter jets.
