Alarm in the Baltic countries. Drones violated the airspace of Latvia and Estonia

Latvian military commander General Kaspars Pudans announced that NATO fighter jets were scrambled in response to aerial threats. A drone, which had been in Latvian airspace, also flew over the Baltic states but was not shot down due to civilian safety concerns. After leaving Latvia, the drone headed towards Estonia, but its origin and type remain unconfirmed. Estonian authorities reported that some drones involved in attacks on Russian port targets veered westward, briefly entering Estonian airspace. NATO jets did not engage the drones due to their proximity to the Russian border, which could provoke a missile response. An extensive Ukrainian strike on Russian port infrastructure was reported, with fires visible from Estonia.
