There have been numerous incidents of drones crashing in countries across the region throughout the Russia-Ukraine war. <\/p>\n

Generally, these have been described as accidents, although it is difficult to verify the intention behind each of these events. <\/p>\n

In recent months, some of the drones used by Ukraine against targets in Russia have crashed in all three of the Baltic states; Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia. <\/p>\n

In mid-May, the Latvian government collapsed amid a row over its handling of several such incidents. <\/p>\n

Ten days ago, the foreign ministry in Kyiv apologised after a Ukrainian drone was shot down over Estonia. <\/p>\n

The ministry’s spokesman, Heorhy Tykhy, accused Russia of deliberately redirecting Ukrainian drones into the Baltics. <\/p>\n

After a major Russian air attack on Ukraine on 25 April, fragments of two drones were recovered from Galati, the same eastern Romanian region which borders Ukraine, where a Russian drone hit an apartment building earlier today. <\/p>\n

Back in April, Moscow did not confirm or deny that the two drones were Russian. <\/p>\n

After being summoned to the Romanian foreign ministry, Russian ambassador Vladimir Lipaev said the incident was “quite possibly a Ukrainian provocation” involving a Ukrainian drone, or a drone diverted by Ukraine. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This is not the first time a drone has hit a Nato country during this warpublished at 08:36…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":610260,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":["post-610259","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/610259","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=610259"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/610259\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/610260"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=610259"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=610259"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=610259"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
