India Today
Amid the war with Ukraine, a report has claimed that Russian bombers armed with nukes entered EU airspace.
Fuelling tension in the West, a report has claimed that Russian bombers armed with nuclear warheads entered the European Union air space earlier this month, before being chased out by fighter jets. This comes amid Moscow's war with Ukraine.
Swedish media reports said four of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s warplanes "swooped in over the Baltic towards the island of Gotland, in the Baltic Sea."
Reports mentioned the formation included two Sukhoi Su-24 bombers and two Sukhoi SU-27 fighters.
Reports also said, quoting sources, that the move was "a deliberate attempt to intimidate Sweden".
Swedish JAS 39 Gripen jets were sent to intercept the planes - and they were in their airspace for around one minute.
Stockholm confirmed the interception earlier this month, but reports about the jets being armed with nuclear warheads have only emerged now.

Oil and gas refineries and hubs are up in flames not just in the Middle East, but also in Russia and the US. Crude oil prices have surged over $100 a barrel. With the energy infrastructure in the Middle East likely to take years to be rebuilt, the world could be set for the biggest oil disruption in history.

Speaking at the White House, Trump said the United States was in contact with "the right people" in Iran and suggested that Tehran was eager to reach an agreement to halt hostilities. "We're in negotiations right now," he told reporters, without offering further details on the scope or format of the talks.
