Drone Crashes in Lithuania

On the evening of May 17, a military drone was discovered in a field in the Utena district of Lithuania. Vilmantas Vitkauskas, head of the National Crisis Management Center (NKVC), stated at an urgent press conference that, preliminarily, the device is Ukrainian.

The found drone is crashed, but there are no visible traces of an explosion at the crash site. Specialists are determining the presence of a warhead inside the device.

Lithuanian Armed Forces radars did not record its flight on that day; the drone was reported by local residents.

According to the analysis of the wreckage, the Lithuanian side leans towards the version that it is a Ukrainian drone. From which country it flew into Lithuania has not yet been precisely determined.

On the morning of the same day (May 17), another drone flew into the territory of Latvia, after which it left its airspace.

This is not the first such incident in Lithuania. In March of this year, a Ukrainian military drone also crashed into Lake Lavysas (Varėna district) near the border with Belarus. At that time, official authorities reported that the UAV was heading to attack targets in Russia but went off course due to the active operation of Russian electronic warfare (EW) systems. Experts note that similar incidents have become frequent throughout the Baltic region in recent months.
