Lithuania sounds air alarm for first time due to suspected drone threat from Belarus
Source: Kyiv Independent
An air alert was issued across parts of Lithuania on May 20 after a suspected drone was detected approaching the country from Belarus, Lithuania's National Defense Ministry reported.
The incident marked the first time Lithuania activated an air alert tied to a suspected aerial incursion, with NATO Baltic Air Policing deploying a fighter jet in response.
Drone activity was recorded near the Belarusian border in eastern Lithuania, but the warning was later extended to the capital, Vilnius, and the surrounding region, Lithuanian broadcaster LRT reported.
The drone crossed the Lithuanian border at approximately 09:40 local time, and radar contact was lost around 11:00. Its exact location and origin remain unknown.

Here we go. Zelenskyy and Ukraine have been sounding the alarm about Belarus. If Belarus and Russia attack a NATO country, it will be WWIII. European NATO will be the first to respond in what will likely be overwhelming military action. Poland, Germany, France, England and all the rest will not hesitate.
