Lithuania has called for NATO’s help to strengthen its air defences after a Russian military drone carrying explosives entered its airspace from Belarus. The drone, found near Vilnius, was safely neutralised by Lithuanian forces, according to Firstpost.
Foreign Minister Kestutis Budrys called it a sign of Russia’s war spilling into NATO territory and urged immediate NATO action, including more patrols. It’s the second such incident in a month.
Defence officials said mobile units and short-range air defences are being deployed. Similar airspace breaches have also been reported in other NATO countries. Lithuania warned Belarus to prevent future incidents or face consequences, Firstpost reported.
