Lithuania’s National Crisis Management Center has reported the presence of an unidentified drone flying at an altitude of approximately 200 meters near Vilnius. Darius Buta, representing the center, confirmed the sighting, which has raised concerns amid heightened regional tensions. The incident underscores the ongoing geopolitical tensions in the area, with Belarus being implicated as the potential source of the drone.
Authorities have not yet confirmed the origin of the drone, but given the proximity to Belarus, the country is under scrutiny. Previous incidents of similar nature have linked Belarus to the use of such technology, although no definitive evidence has been presented. This latest development adds to the growing concerns about the region’s security and the potential for further escalation.
Meanwhile, Lithuania remains on high alert following prior incidents that have raised fears of increased military activity in the area. The situation has prompted discussions about the need for enhanced surveillance and defensive measures to safeguard national security. As investigations into the drone’s origin continue, the international community is closely monitoring the developments, with concerns over potential diplomatic repercussions.
