NATO aircraft shoot down drone over Lithuania, origin still unclear
NATO fighter jets shot down a drone over Lithuanian territory last night. Media reports suggest the projectile originated from neighboring Belarus, though whether it was Russian or Ukrainian remains unconfirmed. The incident occurred near Pratkunai and the Kruonis hydroelectric plant, approximately 70 kilometers west of Vilnius. Military and police forces secured the area to investigate wreckage. A military commander stated the airspace violation began just before midnight. This marks the first drone shootdown in Lithuania, though previous drones were detected flying toward Russia. NATO Secretary General Rutte linked these border attacks to President Putin’s desperation to sow fear.
