Explosive device found on drone shot down over Lithuania, minister says
NATO jets downed a drone carrying explosives as Russian warship fires flares at Danish helicopter in escalating Baltic incidents.
A drone shot down over Lithuania was found to be carrying an explosive device, according to a Lithuanian minister, as NATO jets responded to aircraft in the region. The incident follows a Russian warship firing flares at a Danish helicopter, part of a series of confrontations in the Baltic.
European Commission President warned that recent actions in Denmark and Lithuania "are not isolated incidents." Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha expressed Kyiv's "full support" for Denmark and called for "joint and decisive action" against Russian destabilization efforts in Europe.
