Latvia’s president on Sunday said a Russian military drone had crashed on its territory, adding that airspace breaches had increased along NATO’s eastern borders.

The Baltic state, once ruled by the Soviet Union but now an EU and NATO member, has had tense relations with Moscow following independence, and ties have further deteriorated since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022.

A “Russian military drone… crashed in the eastern part of Latvia yesterday. There is an ongoing investigation,” Latvian President Edgars Rinkevics said on X, formerly Twitter.
