A North Atlantic Treaty Organization's (NATO) fighter aircraft attempted to approach the plane of Russian Defense Minister Sergeya Shoygu over the neutral waters of the Baltic Sea, TASS News Agency reported on Wednesday.

The plane, carrying Russian Defense Minister Sergeya Shoygu, was flying over neutral waters of the Blatic Sea on its way to Russia's exclave of Kaliningrad when it was buzzed by a NATO F-16 fighter jet, according to TASS.

The NATO plane was chased away by a Su-27 Russian military jet, which was escorting Shoigu's plane.
