Lithuania Investigates Reports of Possible Drone Crash Near Latvian Border

Lithuanian police are checking reports of a possible drone crash in the Pasvalys municipality area, the National Crisis Management Centre said on Sunday. The centre is the Lithuanian body that coordinates responses to emergencies. The district lies in northern Lithuania, close to the Latvian border.

The announcement said only that reports of a possible crash had been received and that police are verifying them. It has not been confirmed that a drone actually came down.

The source does not say what type of unmanned aircraft may be involved, where it could have come from, or whether anyone was hurt or any damage was caused. No official conclusions about the circumstances of the incident have been given so far.

Because the area is near the Latvian border, the incident is also being watched in the neighbouring country. More information should become available once police complete their check.
