"The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) detected and tracked four Russian military aircraft operating in the Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) on February 6, 2024," the command said in a statement on X (former Twitter).
The aircraft remained within the international airspace zone and "did not enter American or Canadian sovereign airspace," the statement said. The Russian activity "is not seen as a threat" and it occurs in the ADIZ regularly.
