This is unconscionable. There is absolutely no excuse to endanger the lives of a commercial airliner full of passengers, international airspace or not.

While this incident doesn't rise to the level of the implorable act against humanity, which was the shooting down of the Korean airliner; there is a gross disregard for human life nonetheless.

My guess is that in this incident, they were testing neighboring countries detection capabilities, and some disgusting human being wanted to see how close he could get to another plane for the thrill.
