Latvia Scrambles NATO Jets After Suspicious Drone Enters Airspace

Latvia deployed NATO aircraft after a suspicious drone violated the country's airspace, according to ongoing coverage of the war in Ukraine. The incident represents the latest example of airspace violations affecting NATO member states bordering regions involved in the conflict. Latvia, a Baltic nation and NATO member since 2004, has been particularly vigilant about airspace security given its proximity to Russia and Belarus, both of which have been involved in military operations related to the Ukraine conflict.
