A NATO fighter jet has shot down what is believed to be a stray Ukrainian drone over the Baltic region. Ukraine apologised for the unintended incident, while Russia issued a warning of potential retaliation. This marks a notable development in ongoing tensions over drone activity.

The German government has approved measures allowing the military to shoot down suspicious drones near military installations and other critical infrastructure. Interior Minister Nancy Faeser emphasised the increasing drone threats since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, stating that the technology poses significant challenges for police forces.
