Belarus summoned Lithuania’s Chargé d’Affaires following a UAV launched from Lithuania that crossed into Belarusian territory and crashed in Grodno on November 30, 2025. Belarus analysed debris including video and navigation data, concluding the Western-made drone was preprogrammed to fly over Belarus, enter Poland, and return to Lithuania. Minsk characterizes the event as a deliberate provocation and demands full details on the launch and operator, an investigation with accountability, and steps to prevent future incidents. Belarus reserves the right to protect its sovereignty accordingly.
