World NewsNato jets down drone that entered Lithuanian airspace
The gist
NATO fighter jets shot down a drone that entered Lithuanian airspace, but its origin remains unknown.
Big picture
The incident shows how Russia’s war in Ukraine is creating greater risks for nearby European countries, where stray or redirected drones can cross borders. Lithuania is a NATO member, so protecting its airspace is also part of the alliance’s wider security mission.
Explain like I'm 5
A flying machine crossed into Lithuania, so allied planes stopped it to keep people safe. Officials are still trying to learn where the drone came from.
