A civilian aircraft was intercepted by fighter jets on Sunday afternoon after it entered restricted airspace near Donald Trump's golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey.

The incident occurred around 12:50 pm local time, according to a statement from the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD). The jets used flares to alert the pilot before escorting the aircraft out of the Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) zone. NDTV reported

It was the second airspace violation of the day, with five such incursions reported over the weekend.

The flares, which may have been visible to the public, are "employed with the highest regard for the safety of the intercepted aircraft and people on the ground," NORAD said. The flares burn out quickly and do not pose a danger to those on the ground

Authorities are reminding general aviation pilots to check all Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs) before flying. For flights near Bedminster, pilots should review NOTAMs 9839, 9840, 9841, and 9842.

General aviation pilots are reminded to verify all Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) Notice to Airmen (NOTAMs) and Fly Informed before every flight," NORAD advised.

Trump was reportedly out of town at the time of the incident and expected to return to the White House later that day, as per Fox News.

NORAD said it uses a network of radars, satellites, and fighter aircraft to identify and respond to potential threats in US and Canadian airspace.
