RUGAJI: An Italian fighter jet, part of a Nato mission, shot down a drone of unknown origin that entered Latvian airspace on Friday during Ukrainian attacks on Russian ports.
Latvian soldiers were searching for debris from the drone around midday in a wooded area near the village of Rugaji, around 35 km from the Baltic nation’s border with Russia which was identified as a potential crash site.
“We can’t give information about the origin of the drone as the area is not yet searched,” Latvian military spokesperson Iveta Berzina told public broadcaster LSM.
Ukrainian military drones have strayed into Baltic nations’ airspace several times this year.
