Ukraine has expressed regret after a drone inadvertently entered Lithuanian airspace and crashed. According to the Foreign Ministry, the incident may have been caused by Russian electronic warfare diverting drones during operations against legitimate targets in Russia. Spokesperson Heorhii Tykhyi apologized for any disruption, risks, and concern the incident may have caused. He added that Kiev would collaborate with Vilnius to investigate the circumstances and prevent similar occurrences in the future.
Lithuanian Defence Minister Robertas Kaunas had previously suggested that the crashed drone might have originated from neighboring Poland. The debris damaged a moving civilian vehicle, but fortunately, no one sustained injuries, as reported by the head of Lithuania's national crisis management centre, Vilmantas Vitkauskas, on Lithuanian radio.
