NATO Jets Shoot Down Drone Over Lithuania Amid Rising Tensions with Russia

NATO fighter jets shot down a suspected Russian drone that entered Lithuanian airspace overnight, marking the first such incident in Lithuanian history. This event follows a Russian frigate firing flares at a Danish military helicopter in the Baltic Sea, and comes after NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte pledged increased support for Ukraine due to Russian strikes near NATO territory. These incidents signal a significant escalation in military tensions between NATO and Russia in the Baltic region.
