NATO fighters shot down on Tuesday a drone that entered Lithuanian airspace during the night. The incident was confirmed and marks a significant moment for the air defense of the Baltic country.
This was the first time a drone was shot down in Lithuanian airspace, highlighting the seriousness of the breach and the readiness of NATO's air defense systems in the region.
The incident occurred less than a day after NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte stated that attacks near alliance territory would lead the organization to increase support for Ukraine.
The video accompanying the news shows the location where the drone fell, visual documentation of the incident that is now under investigation by the competent authorities.
