NATO Jets Shoot Down Drone Over Latvia Amid Regional Security Measures
NATO fighter jets shot down a drone over Latvia's airspace amid heightened tensions with Russia. The Latvian military attributed the drone's entry to Russian electromagnetic warfare but did not confirm its origin. Finland also imposed temporary aviation and maritime restrictions near its border with Russia due to drone threats. These incidents follow repeated drone incursions in the Baltic and Finnish regions linked to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, prompting increased air defense deployments and security measures by NATO allies.
