Latvia's military said on Monday that its fighter jets had shot down a drone that entered its airspace earlier in the day.
The National Armed Forces (NBS) said an airspace warning that had been issued had been lifted by 10:30 am local time.
The NBS sent alerts to mobile phones of citizens living in the eastern municipalities of Ludza, Balvi and Alūksne.
A military spokesperson told the Reuters news agency that the drone entered Latvian airspace from Russia.
The latest incident comes just two weeks after the NBS issued a similar alert to resident after detecting "at least one" unmanned vehicle in Latvian airspace.
