Drone over Riga City Hall and increased Swedish and US military air activity near Baltic region.
A drone was spotted flying over Riga City Hall, raising local concern as police appeared unresponsive. Concurrently, the Swedish Air Force Korpen was active near the Poland-Belarus border. Additionally, a US Lockheed MC-130J Hercules aircraft, operated by the 522nd Special Operations Squadron based near Clovis, was outbound to Lielvarde, Latvia. The squadron is known for specialized missions including inflight refueling, infiltration and exfiltration, and aerial delivery and resupply of Special Operations forces.
Confidence: Medium
The presence of allied military aircraft and observed drone suggest heightened defense readiness in response to regional tensions, without direct aggressive action reported.
