BALTIC AIRSPACE BREACHED: NATO Jet Downs Intruder; Alert Triggered In Latvia | Times Now World

A French Rafale fighter jet operating under NATO's Baltic Air Policing mission shot down a drone that entered Latvian airspace, marking the first known interception of its kind over Latvia. The incident triggered air threat alerts across eastern Latvia near the Russian and Belarusian borders, with residents urged to seek shelter. Latvian authorities said the drone entered from the direction of Russia and was affected by Russian electronic warfare, though officials did not identify who launched it. The episode comes amid a growing number of drone incursions linked to the Russia-Ukraine war, raising concerns that the conflict is increasingly spilling into NATO territory and heightening security tensions across the Baltic region.
