The drone flew into the territory of Lithuania from Belarus. He was noticed near Vilnius

The Lithuanian police said that on the morning of July 28, local residents noticed an unidentified drone who crossed the airspace of Lithuania by Belarus.

According to LRT , eyewitnesses told the police that they saw a drone at an altitude of about 200 meters, for the last time - near Vilnius. “The police activated all their forces, all the services are informed,” said Darus Buta, head of the National Center for Crisis Management.
