Lithuania orders shelters after detecting unidentified flying object

reuters.com [$] —

Lithuania ordered residents in central and northern regions to seek shelter for about an hour on Sunday morning after detecting an unrecognized flying object, the army and national crisis management centre said. During the "red" air warning, NATO air police fighters were deployed to the area and Kaunas airport was closed. Latvia issued and then lifted a "yellow" air warning in bordering regions, citing a "possible threat." Ukrainian drones have repeatedly entered NATO airspace in the Baltic region in recent months, with Kyiv attributing the incidents to Russian signal jamming, raising concerns about spillover from Russia's war in Ukraine.
