An airspace violation is the unauthorized entry or passage of an aircraft, drone, or any object into a country's sovereign airspace without explicit permission or proper clearance.
Common types include unintentional navigational errors, recreational drone incursions, commercial flight deviations, and deliberate military or state aircraft incursions.
Consequences can range from warnings and fines for civilian incidents to diplomatic protests, military interception, and heightened international tensions for state-sponsored incursions.
