  NATO downs drone over Lithuania; Russian warship fires flares at Danish helicopter

  A NATO fighter jet shot down a drone carrying explosives that crossed from Belarus into Lithuanian airspace near Kaunas early on Tuesday, marking the first time NATO has destroyed a drone over Lithuanian territory. The same day, a Russian Navy frigate fired flares at a Danish military helicopter conducting routine operations in the Baltic Sea. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen characterized both incidents as part of a broader pattern of Russian aggression and provocation against Europe.
