After Romania and Latvia, also a member of NATO, reported that Russian drones had entered its airspace.
The Romanian Ministry of Defense announced that a Russian drone entered its territory early this morning, during an attack on the civil and port infrastructure of Ukraine on the Danube.
They added that Bucharest deployed F-16 fighter jets to monitor Romanian airspace and issued warnings to residents of the two eastern regions.
Later today, Latvian Defense Minister Andris Spruds said a Russian drone had crashed a day earlier near the town of Rezekne and had probably strayed into Latvia from neighboring Belarus.
Rezekne, a town of about 25.000 people, is located about 55 kilometers west of Russia and about 75 kilometers from Belarus, a close ally of the Kremlin.
Today, the Latvian army confirmed the incident and stated that there are no indications that Moscow or Minsk deliberately sent the drone to that country.
Spruds also tried to downplay the drone incursion.
And while the intrusion of a Russian drone into Latvia appears to be a rare incident, Romania has more often complained of finding parts of drones since the beginning of the invasion in 2022.
