Drone Explodes Over Lithuania as Poland Disputes Flight Path

Undoubtedly, the drone exploded over Lithuania.

Ukraine apologizes and explains that it cannot be ruled out that the change in course of the unmanned aircraft may have been caused by Russian electronic warfare systems.

The Lithuanian defense minister reported that in northern Lithuania, an object was found that may have entered that same day from Polish territory, but our systems have already ruled that out.

Good morning. The most likely explanation is the one you mentioned.

The Ukrainian side expressed regret. It stressed that perhaps it was one of those drones, that were meant to attack targets in Russia, but were redirected by the Russians. The Lithuanian side refers to data from its radar systems.

According to them, the drone was to have come from the Polish side. The drone was to have come from the direction of Poland, heading north. The Minister of National Defense of Lithuania, Robertas Kaunas, wrote outright on his social media that the drone entered directly from Poland.

That the drone entered directly from Poland.

Residents reportedly saw it too and reported the incident via the emergency number.

But Poland does not confirm this. Our radar systems did not detect the drone flying from Poland to Lithuania. The Lithuanian side proposed a joint investigation, and perhaps after this investigation, we will learn more. The drone did indeed explode,

but quite far from us, because it was at the border not between Poland and Lithuania, but between Lithuania and Latvia. Exactly ten kilometers from that border.

Fortunately, it did not injure anyone. It only damaged a passenger car that was nearby.
