NATO stated it was "committed and ready" after shooting down a drone over Lithuanian territory, one of the member countries of the Atlantic alliance.
The incident occurred in a context of tight surveillance by the countries on the eastern flank of Europe, which include the Baltic States region and Poland.
These nations have been closely following the war fought by Russia in Ukraine, with the objective of preventing the conflict from spreading beyond their own borders.
The situation reflects the growing security concerns in the region, where NATO member countries have reinforced their defensive posture in the face of the threat represented by the ongoing conflict.
