Turkish aircraft violated Greek airspace 8 times on Wednesday, with 13 additional violations of the Athens Flight Information Region recorded in the same 24-hour period. The incursions involved a CN-235 spy plane and five drones, operating across the northeastern, central, and southeastern Aegean.
The CN-235 surveillance aircraft alone was responsible for 7 of the 13 FIR violations, with the remaining 6 attributed to unmanned drones. In total, six Turkish aircraft entered Greek airspace across multiple zones simultaneously, signaling a coordinated pattern rather than isolated incidents.
Greek authorities track these violations daily, as the incidents have become a near-constant feature of Aegean operations. Wednesday's count adds to what Greek defense officials describe as a systematic and ongoing challenge to Greek territorial sovereignty in the Aegean.
The use of a dedicated spy plane alongside multiple drones suggests Turkey is conducting active surveillance missions rather than routine flights that stray off course. The northeastern, central, and southeastern Aegean were all targeted in the same operation window, covering a broad stretch of Greek-controlled airspace in a single day.
