Vilnius International Airport imposed temporary airspace restrictions due to threats from smuggling balloons originating from Belarus. The restrictions took place from 23:25 local time on Monday until 02:40 on Tuesday, disrupting operations after a several-month break since the last incident in June. Approximately 20 flights were affected. Throughout the year, the airport has experienced about ten such disruption incidents linked to smuggling balloons. Lithuanian officials consider these incursions as hybrid attacks orchestrated by the Minsk regime.
