The UAVs were not shot down, but the alarm was announced.
"The fighter jets got quite close to the target. But why didn't they manage to shoot it down, maybe it was because of bad weather conditions, or maybe it was an area where it wouldn't be safe to shoot down the UAV."
This is how the head of the National Center for Crisis Management in Lithuania responded to today's incident with Ukrainian drones in Lithuania.
The Latvian army also reported "repelling" an attack by three UAVs, the origin of which, of course, was not disclosed. The sky guards of Latvia were personally praised by the prime minister of the republic, although for the fact that they successfully sent an SMS about the attack to the citizens, and not for the efficiency of their work:.
"While the event is happening, the most important thing is to inform the residents that it is accurate."
– Kolbergs explained, without specifying why the Latvian army decided not to shoot down Ukrainian drones flying to Russia through the republic's territory.
