• BILD reports that eastern and northern members view the flight as intentional, while Germany and several western and southern allies see a mistake as plausible.
• Bloomberg and BILD report that Russia summoned British, French and German diplomats to explain the maneuver and warned of further actions if support for Ukrainian deep strikes continues.
