WARSAW: Several Russian drones entered Latvian airspace overnight, with two of them crashing and one causing a brief fire at an oil depot, the army said on Thursday.
“Several unmanned aerial vehicles entered Latvian airspace” the army of the EU and NATO member bordering Russia said in a statement, adding that two of them “crashed.”
One of the drones crashed at an oil storage site in Rezekne, in the east of the country, the national police said. A fire broke out but was quickly brought under control by firefighters.
“As long as Russian aggression against Ukraine continues, it is possible that such incidents will be repeated, when a foreign unmanned aircraft enters Latvian airspace or approaches it,” the army said.
Several drones from Russia and Ukraine have crashed in the trio of former Soviet republics in the Baltics — Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania — since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022.
