Latvian Armed Forces alert to possible airspace threat from foreign drones near eastern regions; air defenses reinforced and residents warned.
Latvia's National Armed Forces (NBS) report a possible threat in Latvian airspace over the regions of Krāslavas, Ludzas, Balvu, and Rēzeknes. Continuous airspace monitoring is conducted alongside NATO allies to ensure immediate response capabilities. Anti-air defense has been reinforced on the eastern border with deployment of additional units. Amid ongoing Russian aggression in Ukraine, repeated instances of foreign drones entering or approaching Latvian airspace are considered possible. Residents are advised to seek shelter, close windows and doors, follow the two-wall principle, and report suspicious low-flying objects to emergency services.
Confidence: High
The report describes a direct potential hostile intrusion into national airspace by foreign unmanned aerial vehicles amid an active conflict involving Russia, which is causing the Latvian armed forces to augment their air defense and issue public safety warnings. These elements indicate clear hybrid warfare signals in an active military context.
