A Turkish gunboat reportedly carrying Hulusi Akar, the Turkish armed forces' Chief of Staff, entered Greek waters on Sunday morning, English-language Kathimerini reports.
Greece's own armed forces were put on high alert over the development, with authorities seeing the move near disputed islands as a "provocation".
Diplomatic sources are quoted as saying the move might be tied to a court ruling in Greece this week that turned down an extradition request for Turkish military officers.
According to Hürriyet Daily News, Gen Akar was visiting the "disputed Aegean islets of Kardak" accompanied by the land, naval and air forces. (In Greek, the same islets are called Imia).
