Russia will “face consequences” if it doesn’t respect Turkey’s sovereignty, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said, after his government reported the second Russian violation of the country’s airspace in two months.

Russia denied Turkey’s allegation that a Sukhoi SU-34 warplane entered Turkish airspace at 11:46 a.m. local time on Friday, disregarding warnings from radar units.
