VILNIUS, Lithuania (AP) — Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda says Russian military planes violated Lithuania’s airspace on Thursday evening.

Lithuania’s foreign ministry will summon Russian Embassy representatives to protest the violation, Nausėda said in a post on the social media platform X. The incident occurred amid rising tensions in the region. The Baltics are increasingly concerned by neighboring Russia’s aggression on Ukraine.
