Estonia and Latvia say territories hit by stray Ukrainian drones

Ukrainian drones entered Estonian and Latvian air spaces from Russia overnight, with one hitting infrastructure and another crashing on land, Tallinn and Riga have said.

The incident occurred around the same time as Ukraine launched a massive drone attack on the Russian port of Ust-Luga on the Baltic Sea, some 25km (15 miles) away from the Estonian border.

The country's security police chief, Margo Palloson, said it was "a Ukrainian drone that deviated from its course, which was possibly affected in Russian airspace."

Latvian Prime Minister Edgars Rinkevics also confirmed the drone that hit its territory was Ukrainian.

Latvia's Defence Minister, Andris Spruds, cut short a visit to Ukraine and returned to Latvia in the wake of the incident.

I don’t think you understand “false flag”.

Ukraine attacked a Russian Baltic port, and a couple of drones went off course. Ukraine and the Baltic states never said the drones were Russian. This was more of a “friendly fire” incident, and I’m sure the Ukrainians are very sorry for any damage they caused in the Baltic states.

And what have Estonia and Latvia done to protect themselves? Nothing.
No anti drones drones.
No mini Iron dome.

Their only shield is ‘International Law’ a fantasy that any strong country pushes aside like there was a curtain instead of a front door.

I wish them well, my father was born in Latvia.
