Latvia Reports Brief Airspace Threat, NATO Jets Activated Near Russian Border
Latvia's armed forces briefly warned of an airspace threat near its eastern regions, prompting NATO jets to be activated. The military later reported the threat had passed and the object was on the ground near the Russian border. Ukrainian military drones have occasionally strayed into Baltic airspace, raising concerns about the Ukraine conflict spilling into NATO countries. Moscow accuses Kyiv of using NATO airspace for attacks, while Kyiv attributes some drone deviations to Russian signal jamming. NATO countries generally hold Russia responsible for the conflict.
