NATO member Lithuania has closed its two largest airports and shut border crossings with Belarus after helium weather balloons entered its airspace, marking the third such incident this month. European aviation has been disrupted recently by drone sightings and other air incursions, including in Copenhagen, Munich, and the Baltic region.
Vilnius and Kaunas airports were closed for safety reasons until 2 a.m. (2300 GMT), and Belarus border crossings will remain closed until Sunday afternoon. Lithuanian authorities have stated that the balloons, often linked to smuggling operations transporting contraband cigarettes, are a persistent issue. They also blame Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, for allowing the practice to continue.
"The National Security Commission will meet next week to discuss immediate actions that would impact both the smugglers and Lukashenko's regime, which enables them," said Lithuania’s Prime Minister Inga Ruginiene in a statement.
