Lithuania's Prime Minister Inga Ruginienė said on Monday that her country has drawn up plans to close its border crossings with Belarus indefinitely, after flights at the capital's airport were repeatedly disrupted by suspected sightings of balloons used to smuggle in cigarettes.
Lithuania's National Security Commission met after balloon sightings prompted the suspension of air traffic at Vilnius Airport on three successive evenings on Friday, Saturday and Sunday causing cancellations, diversions and delays.
