Explosives were discovered on Monday near the wreckage of a suspected Ukrainian military drone that crashed in Lithuania. The Lithuanian police stated that the materials are too dangerous to remove, so they will be disposed of by detonation at the site. The drone entered Lithuania without being detected and crashed in Samane, located 40 km from Latvia and 55 km from Belarus. There has been no comment from Kyiv regarding this incident.
Additionally, on Sunday, the Latvian army issued a drone alert along its border with Russia. During this alert, one drone briefly entered Latvia. NATO fighters were called to intercept a “possibly unmanned aircraft” in Latvia and to search for another drone in Lithuanian airspace. Since March, several stray Ukrainian drones have crossed into the airspace of NATO countries bordering Russia and Belarus. Kyiv claims these drones were intended to hit military targets in Russia but were misdirected due to Russian interference. Some drones have crashed and exploded, leading to significant incidents and government fallout in Latvia. The Baltic states affirm they have not permitted their territories for attacks against Russia.
