Finland's border service has registered a Russian helicopter violating Finnish airspace, according to a post on its website on Friday.
The helicopter was spotted by the border service in the eastern part of the Finnish Gulf on Thursday morning, having flown 9 kilometers into Finland's airspace.
The border guards tried to contact the pilots by radio but they did not respond. After several warnings, the helicopter flew back to Russia.
A Russian helicopter entered Georgia's airspace on Thursday, according to the Georgian Defense Ministry, the RIA Novosti news agency reported.
