The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) has confirmed that Russian military aircraft has been detected off the Alaskan coast over four of the last five days. 

In the latest incident NORAD said that on September 15, 2024, two Russian IL-38 military aircraft were tracked while flying in the Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ). 

A NORAD spokesperson was keen to state that the aircraft “remained in international airspace and did not enter American or Canadian sovereign airspace” and that Russian planes are “regularly” detected in the area and not viewed as a threat.
