Vilnius Airport halts flights after rogue drone breaches restricted airspace
Vilnius residents were startled this morning by the sight of military aircraft flying overhead, while a separate incident involving a private drone led to a brief closure of Vilnius Airport. The military aircraft's flight was part of a planned task by the Lithuanian air police. The identity of the pilots or crew has not been publicly disclosed. Meanwhile, a private drone caused a stir when it entered restricted airspace near the airport, leading to its quick neutralization and the temporary suspension of airport operations. Despite the surprise, the airport resumed operations with minimal delays. The two incidents, involving a military aircraft and a private drone, were unrelated. While the military flight was a planned task, the drone incident was swiftly resolved, ensuring minimal disruption to Vilnius Airport's operations.
