During a Ukrainian drone attack on Saint Petersburg and Ust-Luga, a drone crossed Latvian airspace and continued into Estonia, where it came down and exploded in a field in Tartu County. An early Estonian investigation identified it as a Ukrainian machine that had been pushed off course by Russian radio jamming. It is the first entry in this log of a pattern that would dominate the Baltic states through 2026.
An Italian Eurofighter on NATO Baltic Air Policing duty destroyed an unidentified drone over eastern Latvia before dawn on 14 August, the second time the alliance's quick-reaction force has shot one down over the country this year.
