Russia and Ukraine traded large drone attacks overnight, and the fighting reached uncomfortably close to NATO territory. Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia issued warnings after at least four drones entered Baltic airspace. NATO scrambled aircraft, Lithuania said it tried twice to shoot down one drone, and Finland temporarily restricted airspace and maritime activity near the Russian border. Officials have not established whether the drones were Russian or Ukrainian, and electronic warfare may have sent one off course. Meanwhile, Ukrainian drones struck the Russian port area of Ust-Luga, a major export hub near St. Petersburg, starting fires and injuring three workers. Russia’s attacks knocked out power in parts of Ukraine. All this happened while delegations from Russia, Ukraine and the U.S. were meeting in Abu Dhabi for another round of peace talks. The negotiations haven’t stopped the attacks, and now neighboring NATO countries are having to deal with drones crossing their borders.
