Highest air alert just announced in Northeast Lithuania. People sent to seek shelter. Reports of air raid sirens blaring. A drone-like object detected by radars - NATO jets scrambled. Yesterday's such alert was the first in Lithuania's history since independence. Today again.
Drone alert issued today in Latvia as well. NATO jets scrambled. This is becoming a daily occurence in the Baltic - NATO - airspace. This comes as Russia openly threatens the Baltic states and as Putin, Lukashenko observe Russia-Belarus nuclear drills.
