A Russian SU-24MR military jet flew into Polish airspace in the Gdansk bay area of the Baltic Sea on Tuesday due to what Russia said was a navigation system failure, the Operational Command of the Polish armed forces said.

Poland has reported that a Russian Su-24MR reconnaissance aircraft violated its airspace over the Gulf of Gdańsk, penetrating up to 6.5 kilometers into Polish territory. The aircraft remained in Polish airspace for over a minute before returning to Russian-controlled airspace.

Poland said a Russian aircraft flying from Kaliningrad crossed over into the NATO member's territory, with Russia blaming a technical fault for the incident.
