Greek-authority-reported Turkish UAV airspace violations
Greek military reporting reproduced by OnAlert and Veteranos lists four Turkish UAVs, one national-airspace violation and five Athens FIR infringements in the northeastern / central / southeastern Aegean on 30 September 2026. These are different measures within one dated activity record.
Routine identification/interception was reported. Exact flight tracks were not published, and the original GEETHA bulletin was not retrieved directly. The airspace assessment remains attributed to Greece; matching reports do not independently verify it.
