The German newspaper Bild reported on the possible incursion of two unidentified flying objects into Lithuanian airspace, but the local security minister denied this information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On September 10, Bild reported on the alleged appearance of two unidentified aircraft over the Lithuanian sky. NATO sources confirmed that the signals were indeed recorded, but the objects were not destroyed; the investigation into the situation is ongoing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Lithuanian Armed Forces reported that they could not confirm this data at the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The Air Force is monitoring the sky with increased vigilance. In the event of signals resembling a target, we react in accordance with established algorithms,” the army said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the military specified, in such situations, NATO fighter jets may be scrambled or an air alert may be declared, but the threat in this case has not been confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regional Security Minister Dovil\u0117 \u0160akalien\u0117 noted that the country’s services checked all signals, but no objects were detected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The most important thing is that we are now on high alert. Fighter jets have taken to the air more than once to assess any possible threats,” she said during a press conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lithuanian Army Commander Raimundas Vaiksnoras stressed that the military cannot comment on rumors circulating in foreign sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I don’t know where Bild got this information from, but I can’t comment on it,” he stressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added that on September 10, fighter jets took to the air three times, but no objects were found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lithuania is actively organizing its defense, taking into account the regional situation, and closely monitoring events in Poland. The day before, the Polish army reported that several drones had been shot down on its territory during another attack by Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Therefore, so far, the information about the “unknown objects” that allegedly fell on Lithuanian territory has not been confirmed. The country’s authorities assure that the airspace is under constant control, and in the event of a real threat, the reaction will be immediate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Poland, on September 10, ten fragments of Russian drones were detected, with most of them located near the eastern border of the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
