Four Russian fighter planes violated Swedish airspace at Gotland.
At the same time Finland and Sweden are having a joint military exercise on the island with both Finnish F/A-18:s and Swedish JAS-39:s operating in the area!

Edited to add: A Swedish commenter said that this happens fairly often as Russia likes to play games and intimidate them, so probably meaningless.

A Norwegian commenter said that because they're a member of NATO , Russia never does this to them.
