airspace incident: Gulf of Finland off Porvoo (2025-06-10)

/ date of the event

What happened

On the afternoon of 10 June 2025 a Russian military aircraft is suspected of having violated Finnish airspace over the Gulf of Finland off Porvoo. The Ministry of Defence spoke of a suspicion; minister Antti Häkkänen said the investigation was launched immediately and is led by the Border Guard. The ministry gave neither the aircraft type nor the duration or depth of the incursion; lentoposti.fi identifies the aircraft as a Russian Navy Tu-154M flying east to west over international waters. On 11 June the foreign ministry summoned Russia's chargé d'affaires. This was the second suspected violation within weeks, after the event of 23 May. Malcontent dates its pin to 26 May; no Finnish source gives that date for a violation.

Source discrepancy

Malcontent's pin is dated 26 May 2025 (after The Watch, which writes of an "incident in the same area" on 26 May). On 26 May the Finnish foreign ministry summoned the ambassador over the 23 May event; the next suspected violation was announced by the ministry on 10 June. 10 June is adopted; the editor may treat the pin as a duplicate of the 23 May event.
