NATO Jets Intercept and Shoot Down Drone Over Latvia
NATO fighter jets scrambled from a regional airbase successfully intercepted and shot down an unidentified drone in Latvian airspace on Monday. This marks the first such kinetic interception of a drone by NATO aircraft over Latvia since the beginning of the expanded conflict in Eastern Europe. Military officials confirmed the drone was neutralized without causing ground damage or casualties, though the incident has led to increased alert levels across the Baltic states' borders.
