- Estonia’s armed forces said late Tuesday that several strike drones crossed its airspace after launches from Ukraine toward Russian targets near the border, and NATO Baltic air policing responded.
- Latvia opened an investigation after drone debris was found on Wednesday, and Estonia’s public broadcaster reported wreckage from at least one device inside the country.
- Ukraine’s foreign minister said Kyiv is sharing data with Estonia, Latvia and Finland, denied aiming drones at partner states, and called the spillovers a result of Russian actions.
