RAF Typhoon jets scrambled to intercept Russian bombers

RAF combat aircraft have been scrambled after reports Russian bombers were heading towards UK airspace – in a repeat of an incident off the coast of Cornwall last year.
This time, the Typhoon jets were dispatched on Wednesday afternoon following the security alert.
An RAF spokesman said the situation was “on-going” and was not uncommon.
He said: “We have Typhoons up on a quick reaction alert. The situation is on-going.”
