Lithuania formally asked NATO to increase its air defense capabilities to protect European countries. The request comes after a Russian drone carrying explosives entered the country’s airspace last week.
Kestutis Budrys, Lithuania’s acting foreign affairs minister, and Dovile Sakaliene, Lithuania’s defense minister, reportedly wrote to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte to notify him of the incident and request that the alliance increase its air defense capabilities in the region.
