NATO Shoots Down Drone as Tensions Rise | Little Rock News

NATO jets shot down a drone in Lithuanian airspace—the first such incident in the country, with explosives later neutralized. Denmark says its helicopter was targeted with flares near a Russian frigate, prompting an ambassadorial protest as Russia blames Denmark for provocative behavior. NATO leaders warn Russian strikes near alliance borders fuel Ukraine’s war effort, while Europe’s top official calls it part of a broader pattern of aggression. Meanwhile, Russia continues drone attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure despite rumors of a truce, and Ukraine retaliates with strikes on Russian oil targets. Back home, Russian cities face drone-caused fires and casualties mount as tensions escalate across the battlefield.
