Drone Berfomasi Kawanan Burung Muncul di Lituania, NATO Kirim Jet Tempur
Lituania menyatakan bahwa penampakan yang diduga drone di wilayah udaranya pada hari Minggu ternyata hanyalah kawanan burung, menyebabkan penutupan bandara Vilnius selama 38 menit sebelum dibuka kembali setelah jet tempur NATO melakukan identifikasi visual. Jet dikerahkan dari pangkalan udara di Siauliai oleh Angkatan Udara Italia yang beroperasi dalam misi Pertahanan Udara Baltik NATO. Insiden ini memicu kekhawatiran bahwa perang di Ukraina meluas hingga ke perbatasan utara NATO dengan Rusia.
