Latvian authorities have activated NATO fighter jets after a suspected drone temporarily entered the country's airspace in the east and then withdrew, the Latvian Army announced.

According to the official statement, no further details were given on the origin or type of drone, while allied air forces were immediately mobilized to monitor the situation. Authorities stressed that the country's airspace remains under constant surveillance in cooperation with NATO allies.

Latvia does not possess its own fighter jets and relies on alliance air patrols for airspace protection.

The incident comes in a context of rising tensions on NATO's eastern borders, amid the ongoing war in Ukraine and an increase in cases of drones allegedly deviating from their routes as a result of electronic interference and air warfare in the region.

According to the Latvian Army, several incidents involving drones have been recorded in recent weeks, falling on the country's territory. In some cases, unmanned aerial vehicles have crashed near critical infrastructure in the east of the country, causing increased concern for national security.

Authorities say these incidents may be related to jamming and electronic interference in military drones operating in the border areas of northwestern Russia.

In an earlier incident this month, suspected Ukrainian drones hit empty tanks at an oil depot in the city of R?zekne, about 50 kilometers from the Russian border, triggering a political crisis that led to the resignation of senior officials in the Latvian government.

The Latvian government has warned that any violation of airspace will be treated as a serious threat and that coordination with NATO will remain at the maximum operational level.
