Drone crashes in Lithuania, Ukraine says Russia redirected it

A suspected drone crashed in northern Lithuania, likely entering Lithuanian airspace from neighboring Poland. Ukraine stated the drone may have been its own, redirected by Russian signal jamming. The Lithuanian crisis management center said the drone's wreckage, found near the Latvian border, damaged a car but caused no injuries. Authorities issued a red air alert, scrambled NATO fighter jets, and closed Kaunas airport. NATO confirmed two Italian Eurofighters responded, but cloud cover prevented visual contact. Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda warned that Russian aggression against Ukraine is spilling over into NATO's eastern flank. Ukraine's foreign ministry apologized for potential disruptions, blaming Russian electronic warfare for diverting the drone from operations against legitimate military targets in Russia.
