Lithuania Told Residents to Go to Shelters After Detecting a Flying Object
NATO fighter jets were scrambled and Kaunas Airport closed as officials investigated a suspected drone and later examined debris that damaged a civilian car.
- On Sunday morning, Lithuania ordered residents in central and northern parts to take shelter for about an hour due to an unrecognized flying object, issuing a "red" air alert.
- During the same period, Latvia issued and later cancelled a "yellow" air-raid alert in regions bordering Lithuania, citing a "possible threat," Latvia's army said.
- NATO air-policing fighter jets scrambled to the area while the "red" alert was in effect, and officials closed Kaunas Airport until the situation resolved.
- In recent months, Ukrainian drones have repeatedly entered NATO airspace in the Baltics, with Kyiv attributing course deviations to Russian signal jamming.
- These repeated airspace incursions have increased international fears that Russia's ongoing war against Ukraine could extend beyond NATO's borders, heightening regional security concerns.
