US complains over Russian intercept of reconnaissance plane

2 hours ago US & Canada

US officials say they will file an official complaint about Russia's intercept of a US reconnaissance plane.

The incident occurred over the Baltic Sea on 7 April, according to the United States European Command, which called the intercept "unsafe" and "unprofessional".

US officials say the plane was in international airspace at the time.

The Russian defence ministry denied any wrongdoing on the part of its pilots, according to Russian media reports.
