UPDATE 1-Lithuania's Vilnius airport suspends flights due to drone warning

Lithuania's ​capital airport on Wednesday suspended flights ‌due to a drone warning, the country's national crisis management centre ‌said.

The alert was issued in ‌response to a drone in neighbouring Belarus that was seen flying ⁠towards ​Lithuania, ⁠the centre said, adding that the drone's ⁠origin had not been confirmed. A ​NATO fighter jet on Tuesday ⁠shot down a suspected Ukrainian drone over ⁠Estonia, ​the Baltic country said, the latest in a series ⁠of airspace violations in the ⁠region ⁠amid frequent Ukrainian attacks on neighbouring Russia.
