A string of Turkish unmanned aircraft entered airspace that Greece says it controls, marking the latest escalation in a long‑standing dispute. On Oct. 10, six Turkish drones crossed into the Athens Flight Information Region and five violations of Greek national airspace were recorded, adding to a pattern of eight infringements and five violations logged this month. Greece argues the drones breached its air traffic rules by failing to file flight plans, while Turkey maintains the flights occurred over international waters, recognizing only a six‑nautical‑mile limit. The incident underscores the fragile security environment in the Eastern Mediterranean, where differing interpretations of maritime and air boundaries fuel tension between two NATO allies. Observers will watch for diplomatic protests, potential NATO mediation, and any further aerial incursions that could raise the risk of a broader confrontation. [[1]]
