Vilnius residents reported seeing a drone flying in the early morning hours, prompting concerns about border security. The drone, believed to be from Belarus, was spotted at approximately 200 meters altitude over the Lithuanian capital. Local authorities confirmed the sighting and took immediate precautions to ensure public safety.
In response, Vilnius police issued a cellphone alert warning residents not to approach the unidentified aerial vehicle. The alert aimed to prevent any potential hazards or misunderstandings during the drone’s flight.
