Latvia issues a drone alert and scrambles NATO fighter jets after an unidentified drone is reported entering Latvian airspace, the country’s armed forces confirm. Residents are told to take shelter while the situation is assessed. NATO Baltic air policing assets are put into the air in response. Separate reporting also states that a NATO fighter jet shoots down a suspected Ukrainian drone over neighbouring Estonia, suggesting closely linked incidents across the Baltic region. The available accounts do not identify the drone or provide additional confirmed details on its origin or purpose beyond the armed-forces confirmation and the NATO air-policing response. The reports present the events as part of a broader pattern of drone activity affecting the region, with Baltic countries and NATO monitoring airspace for potential threats. Authorities continue to treat the matter as an active security situation, with residents instructed to follow official guidance during the alert.
