European leaders are preparing for potential Russian drone and missile attacks against NATO countries as Moscow intensifies hybrid warfare operations. Germany is readying hospitals, Lithuania has updated evacuation plans, and NATO is conducting exercises in the Baltic region, with Polish officials warning of possible attacks within months.
NATO fighter jets shot down a drone that entered Lithuanian airspace near Kaunas after originating from Belarus, with Lithuania's president citing Russia's intensified aggression against Ukraine. Poland separately recovered a suspected Russian military drone from the Baltic Sea, prompting air force activation as a preventive measure amid ongoing Russian drone attacks on Ukraine.
