Colombia says airspace violated by Venezuela
http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2015/09/colombia-airspace-violated-venezuela-150914003326258.htmlThe Colombian defence ministry says Venezuelan military jets crossed several kilometres into Colombian airspace.
Air force radars "detected the entry to Colombian territory of two Venezuelan military aircraft in the Alta Guajira zone" on the northern border with Venezuela on Saturday afternoon, the ministry said in a statement.
The planes entered Colombia for nearly 3km and then flew over an army unit, it said. The ministry did not describe the type of aircraft detected.
Colombia's government will formally protest and seek an explanation from Venezuela for the airspace violation, Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos said.
