Vilnius Airport in Lithuania suspended operations on Wednesday after suspected balloons were spotted in its airspace, marking the latest in a series of similar incidents near the Belarus border.

Lithuania’s capital Vilnius airport has been closed once again. On Wednesday, the airport announced that operations had been halted due to suspected balloons in its airspace, the latest in a series of similar incidents in recent months.

Vilnius airport, located around 30 kilometres (19 miles) from the Belarus border, has been closed more than ten times since early October for similar reasons.
