Estonia summons Russian diplomat over threats against Baltic states

Over the past months, Ukrainian drones have crashed into the chimney of a power plant in Estonia, hit empty fuel tanks in Latvia and been shot down by Romanian fighter jets stationed in Lithuania.

Drone sightings are becoming increasingly disruptive for Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, and Nato fighter jets have been scrambled after air alerts were triggered several times over this week.

With drone alerts, emergency shelters and fighter jets over the Baltics, Europe’s security fears suddenly feel much less theoretical at the GLOBSEC forum in Prague.

On May 7, two drones crashed into an oil storage facility in Latvia's Rezekne.
