Drone from Poland crashes in Lithuania, damaging car; Kyiv apologizes

A drone entering from Poland crashed in northern Lithuania on Sunday, damaging a moving car, though no injuries were reported. Lithuanian authorities suspect the drone may have been Ukrainian, with Kyiv apologizing and suggesting Russian electronic jamming diverted it. NATO jets were scrambled to intercept the drone, but poor weather prevented visual identification. Lithuanian Prime Minister Mindaugas Sinkevicius reported an explosion occurred, and the National Crisis Management Center director called the Ukrainian origin hypothesis the most plausible, though the investigation continues. Ukraine's Foreign Ministry spokesman expressed regret and pledged full cooperation with Lithuanian partners to clarify the incident. The crash follows similar drone incursions in Romania and Moldova, highlighting growing security concerns on NATO's eastern flank amid Russia's war in Ukraine.
