- NATO fighter jets shot down a drone over Latvia, according to Politico and ABC News
- Latvia blamed "Russian electromagnetic warfare" for the incursion, per CNBC, as part of a broader pattern of drone incursions sowing "fear, chaos" along NATO's territory
Why it matters: Latvia's direct attribution to Russian electromagnetic warfare escalates the incident from a routine airspace violation to a named accusation against Moscow, pressuring NATO to publicly address the alleged Russian-linked incursion amid a wider spate of drone probes across member states.
