Finland also imposed temporary aviation and maritime restrictions in the eastern Gulf of Finland
Fighter jets shot down a drone that entered Latvian airspace, the country’s military said on Friday.
The interception came against a backdrop of heightened concern in Europe over unauthorised drone activity, as the Russia-Ukraine war grinds on in its fifth year.
The threat had ended, the armed forces said in a post on X, adding that allied fighter jets successfully destroyed the unmanned aerial vehicle that entered the NATO member state’s airspace.
Baltic Sea neighbour Finland also imposed temporary aviation and maritime restrictions in the eastern Gulf of Finland on Friday, its defence forces said on X.
