LONDON, Feb 3 (Reuters) - Britain intercepted and escorted two Russian bomber aircraft that were approaching Britain's area of interest on Thursday, the Royal Air Force (RAF) said in a statement - the second such incident in as many days.
"Quick Reaction Alert Typhoon fighters based at RAF Lossiemouth supported by a Voyager from RAF Brize Norton were scrambled today against aircraft approaching the UK area of interest," a Royal Air Force spokesperson said.
"Subsequently we intercepted and escorted two Russian Tu-95 Bear F aircraft."
The RAF said it routinely undertakes such operations and the Russian planes did not enter UK sovereign airspace.
