NATO stands "vigilant, committed, and ready," Lithuania's foreign minister said Tuesday, after an allied fighter jet destroyed a drone that crossed into the country's airspace from Belarus — the latest in a string of aerial incursions testing the alliance's eastern border with Russia.
Kestutis Budrys credited the interception to the strength of collective defence, thanking the allies whose air presence, he said, protects Baltic skies and reinforces regional security.
