Nato military jets have been scrambled to intercept a drone that flew near Vilnius, Lithuania’s defence minister has said, as residents were urged to seek shelter immediately.
Air Danger Warning Issued
Lithuania on Wednesday issued an "air danger" warning and suspended traffic at the capital's airport amid fears of drones violating the country's airspace.
"Immediately take shelter in a safe place, take care of your close ones, await new recommendations," Lithuania's army said in a message sent to people in the country's capital.
