A Russian-made drone, possibly of the Gerbera type, was discovered by the Lithuanian military in a military training area after it entered Lithuania from Belarusian airspace. The drone was spotted flying over Vilnius neighborhoods before disappearing. Lithuanian authorities have been criticized for the delayed reaction, and the defense ministry has promised to revise response protocols to allow for easier shooting down of intrusive drones. This is part of a wider trend, where Russia is using drones to attack Ukraine, with some ending up in neighboring countries.
