Lithuania took extraordinary measures in its capital Vilnius due to a drone threat. The national army warned citizens to take shelter in safe places and to watch over their loved ones. Due to the risk of an air attack, a call was made to go to the nearest shelter at the parliament building in the capital. The national crisis management center announced that it went on alert due to a drone believed to have come from Belarus, although the exact source could not be confirmed. While airspace violations increased in the region, a NATO warplane over Estonia shot down a suspicious Ukrainian drone. These developments brought increased air security concerns in the Baltic region to the forefront.
