Turkey resumed its provocations against Greece by dispatching F-16 fighter jets to fly over Greek islands.

At 11:29, a pair of Turkish F-16 aircraft flew over Makronisi and the Anthropofa (an island complex of Fourni Ikaria) at 20,500 feet.

At 11:30, a second pair of Turkish F-16s  flew over Makronisi and the Anthropofa again.
