Russia urges diplomats and foreigners to leave Kyiv as drone hits Lithuanian airspace

Russia has issued a new warning urging diplomats and foreign citizens in Kyiv to leave the city, according to a statement from its foreign ministry. The appeal marks an escalation of pressure on the Ukrainian capital. A drone violated Lithuanian airspace from Belarus, prompting authorities to advise residents in eastern Lithuania to seek shelters and briefly halting Vilnius airport operations. NATO aircraft were scrambled in response, though the alert has since been lifted. Russian attacks have struck Kyiv's North Bridge, two days after strikes on the South Bridge, Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported. A separate overnight drone attack on Hostomel wounded four people, including an 8-year-old girl.
