NATO Jets Down Drone Over Lithuania After Airspace Violation

Lithuania reported a drone incursion that triggered an interceptor response, and Poland separately launched jets after recovering another suspected Russian drone. The twin alerts point to higher air-defense tempo on NATO’s eastern edge and risk of cross-border miscalculation.

🐿️ This drone's westward flight from Belarus into NATO airspace is a deliberate probe of alliance response times, not a random navigation error.
