A Turkish fighter jet was 'harassed' by Greek jets, the Daily Sabah quoted the Turkish General Staff as announcing in a statement on Friday.

According to the statement, the Greek F-16 planes "harassed" a Turkish F-16 by putting it under radar-lock while it was flying over the Aegean Sea along with seven more Turkish F-16 planes.

The Turkish jets were carrying out reconnaissance and surveillance missions in international airspace over the Aegean Sea, the military's statement said.
