Lithuania requests NATO help boost its air defenses after second drone crosses border

 Lithuania is calling on NATO to help strengthen its air defenses after a drone carrying 2 kilograms of explosives entered the country from Belarus and crashed in a military training area.

Defense Minister Dovilė Šakalienė and Foreign Minister Kęstutis Budrys sent a letter to NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte to request the deployment of additional, "even experimental," capabilities on its territory to address air threats, Šakalienė said on Tuesday.

“Since similar incidents are likely to continue as long as Russia’s war against Ukraine goes on, it means we must take additional measures,” she said.
