Latvia, Estonia issue airspace warnings after drones approach borders

Latvia and Estonia issued airspace warnings after drones linked to Russia's war in Ukraine approached or entered their territories, prompting NATO fighter jet responses. In Latvia, a warning was issued in the Alūksne municipality after a potential threat was detected, leading to the scrambling of NATO aircraft. Residents were advised to take precautions such as staying indoors and closing windows. The warning was lifted early in the morning. Earlier, a similar warning had been issued in the Ludza municipality but was later canceled. These incidents follow previous airspace alerts in Latvia this summer, including drone crashes and explosions. In Estonia, several drones were detected near the border with Russia, with one approaching the town of Narva and briefly entering Estonian airspace. Estonian authorities activated air defenses and scrambled fighter jets, though no shots were fired. The situation was reported to be calm by mid-morning.
