The Lithuanian military and the country’s National Crisis Management Center announced that instructions were issued for residents of central and northern regions to seek shelter in shelters on Sunday morning due to the appearance of an unidentified flying object.
The center stated that Lithuanian military personnel were investigating potential wreckage of a drone near the village of Jūdgėnai in the north, after the object disappeared from radar screens.
Citing the military, the center added that the object likely entered Lithuanian airspace from Poland. The Polish military said on Sunday that the country was investigating the possibility that an unidentified object had violated its airspace.
Latvia, Lithuania’s northern neighbor, issued a “yellow” air alert in some areas bordering Lithuania, citing a “potential threat.”
Ukrainian drones have repeatedly entered the airspace of NATO member states in the Baltic region in recent months. Kyiv stated that the drones deviated from their course due to Russian signal jamming.
This has raised concerns that the Russian war in Ukraine could spill over to the borders of NATO member states.
