Video shows Lithuanians sheltering in underground parking during drone alert

President Gitanas Nauseda and Prime Minister Inga Ruginiene were taken to emergency shelters following the air alert, which ordered the city's population to take cover.

Latvia’s foreign minister accused the SVR of running a disinformation campaign amid an internal political crisis triggered by Ukrainian drones straying into Latvian airspace and crashing.

On Tuesday a NATO jet shot down an unmanned vehicle over Estonia.

The Lithuanian military initially issued a lower-level yellow alert, but later escalated to a red alert, with the country’s national crisis management centre calling for schools and kindergartens to bring children to shelters immediately.
