Latvia’s Unsettled Sky
After another overnight warning, search teams in eastern Latvia are looking for an unidentified drone and answers about where it came from.
Residents of Balvi and Ludza, two municipalities near Russia, received another airspace warning shortly after midnight on Tuesday. Allied air-policing fighters were activated. The warning ended after 25 minutes; the search continued.
The Latvian National Armed Forces said an unidentified drone may have come down in Balvi. National Guard units were searching for it as the military released a fuller account later on November 3.
For this Baltic member of NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the latest incident brought another interruption to communities living along the alliance’s eastern edge.
