In brief
Latvia put air-defence and interceptor-drone units on readiness over a possible airspace threat before lifting alerts in three municipalities. NATO air-policing fighters also took off in neighbouring Lithuania.
Latvia issued air alerts late on November 10 and lifted them after midnight, RBC-Ukraine reported, citing Latvia’s National Armed Forces and bb.lv. The report did not identify a specific object or cause behind the possible threat.
An orange warning, the higher of two levels, was issued in Ludza municipality at about 23:20. Yellow warnings followed roughly 20 minutes later in Augšdaugava and Krāslava municipalities, with Krāslava subsequently raised to orange. Interceptor-drone and air-defence units were put on readiness.
Residents under orange warnings were urged to stay indoors and keep two walls between themselves and the outside. Yellow warnings required no action. All three municipalities were at yellow by about 00:20, and the alerts were lifted at 00:40. The report did not specify a time zone.
Lithuania had also issued an air alert. Its National Crisis Management Centre said NATO air-policing fighters had taken off, according to RBC-Ukraine. The report did not specify the timing of their deployment.
