Violating air space of Russia.
MOSCOW, July 23, RIA Novosti - Pakistan has offered official apologies to Russia for violating its air space, the press service of the Russian Air Force reported on Monday.
The incident took place above the 150-km border line at 11.22 a.m., Moscow time, on July 22. Pakistan's Boeing-747 air jet flying from Islamabad to Manchester crossed the Russian air space without notifying Russian anti-missile defence bodies.

At 1.38 p.m., Moscow time, by a decision of the airport's military sector shift chief, the violator was forced to land at the Sheremetyevo II airport.
After finding out the reasons for the incident and drawing up all necessary papers to register the violation, the Boeing was allowed to leave for the airport of destination at 5 p.m.
