Two aircraft violated a temporary no-fly zone established around President Donald Trump's golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey, on Sunday. F-16 fighter jets intercepted the aircraft and safely escorted them out of the restricted airspace, according to the relevant military command (NORAD). Trump was at the golf club in Bedminster over the weekend. U.S. television network Fox News and the tabloid newspaper New York Post reported that the aircraft were intercepted near the golf course.

The U.S. military did not provide details on how many fighter jets were involved in the operation. It also remained unclear which aircraft had violated the temporary flight restrictions. Trump often spends weekends at his golf course in Bedminster during the summer.

Temporary flight restriction zones are frequently established around the locations of U.S. presidents to ensure their safety. Incidents, usually involving smaller aircraft, occasionally occur.
