Lithuania issues red air‑defence alert, closes Kaunas Airport and deploys NATO fighters

Lithuanian authorities issued a red air‑defence alert, asked residents of central and northern regions to shelter for about one hour, closed Kaunas Airport and NATO fighter aircraft from the air‑police mission were deployed to the area. Latvian forces issued a yellow air‑defence alert for border areas and later lifted it; the Lithuanian military investigated possible drone debris near Juodzionys village, the National Crisis Management Center said the object likely entered from Poland, and Polish forces were verifying whether an unidentified object had violated Polish airspace.
