F-16 intercepts aircraft near Trump residence: what happened in Florida.

According to ТСН: The F-16 fighter jet of the U.S. Air Force intercepted a civilian aircraft that violated a temporary flight restriction over Palm Beach in Florida, where President Donald Trump's residence is located.

The incident occurred on Saturday. According to the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), "the aircraft was safely redirected out of the restricted area." Military ministry portal DVIDS reported that during the interception, the NORAD jet fired flares to communicate with the pilot and draw attention to the violation.

Additionally, it was noted that since President Trump's inauguration in January 2025, NORAD has reacted to over 40 cases of flight restriction violations in the West Palm Beach area.
