Two Russian drones crashed into a Latvian oil storage facility near the border
Two drones coming from the direction of Russia violated the airspace of Latvia, which is a NATO member country, and crashed on its territory, the Latvian army stated on Thursday morning. One of the drones struck an oil storage facility in the city of Rezekne, which is located approximately 40 kilometers from the Russian border. The incident requires the attention of the NATO alliance, since it constitutes a violation of the airspace of a member country. Latvia warned residents on its territory about the situation that had arisen. Incidents of this nature represent a security threat to the countries of the Baltic region, which are among the most vulnerable NATO members due to their geographic proximity to Russia. Incidents involving drones have recently become increasingly frequent in the Baltic area and are often perceived as part of the broader conflict in the region. pravda.sk ↗ pravda.sk ↗
