Russia's defence ministry said on Wednesday it had scrambled a jet above the Black Sea to intercept two US spy planes approaching its border, following a similar incident earlier in the day over the Baltic, Interfax reported.
In both cases, the US planes turned away before reaching the Russian border, the defence ministry was cited as saying.
