'Suspicious object' enters Latvian airspace near Belarus, Russia border

On November 1, the Latvian armed forces reported a brief incursion of an unidentified flying object near its border with Russia and Belarus. The military advised citizens to stay indoors and follow safety protocols. The incursion occurred near Kraslava and Ludza, but was declared over within an hour. A BLAZE interceptor drone was deployed, which self-destructed to avoid violating neighboring airspace. This incident follows a series of drone incursions in NATO countries, raising concerns about potential hybrid attacks from Russia. Previous incidents include drones entering Lithuanian and Romanian airspace, prompting military responses.
