Latvia issues orange airspace alert near Lithuania border

Latvia's military has issued an orange airspace warning for three municipalities along its southern border with Lithuania, citing a confirmed threat requiring residents to seek safety. The nature of the threat has not yet been disclosed. The orange warning is the higher of two alert levels, urging immediate action from the public. The affected municipalities are located southeast of Riga, and the alert follows overnight drone attacks near St. Petersburg, Russia, north of the Baltics. NATO forces in Latvia, including rotating Swedish soldiers in a brigade, are based at Adazi, a few dozen kilometers outside the capital. Further details on the perceived threat are expected as the situation develops.
