Turkish jets enter Greek air space for second day

Turkish fighter jets violated Greek air space for the second time in as many days Tuesday, fueling concern in military and diplomatic circles.

Just after 8 a.m. two Turkish F-16s entered the Athens Flight Information Region between Lesvos and Chios and flew over the islet of Oinousses.

About an hour later, one Turkish F-16 entered the same area of Greek air space and also flew over Oinousses.

In both cases, the Turkish jets were chased off by Greek aircraft.
