A day after Lithuania’s capital of Vilnius was ground to a halt due to a drone incursion, which comes off the back of at least half a dozen similar incidents in three weeks throughout the region, Lithuania’s defence minister Robertas Kaunas has reiterated that Europe must be prepared for the high probability that more will come.

“This is the new reality of what the Baltic states face,” he said in exclusive comments to the Europe Today news programme.

“We need to adapt because the possibility of repeated similar scenarios is very high.”
