Unidentified object in Latvian airspace was not a drone, Latvian army says

An unidentified object that appeared in Latvian airspace on Thursday was not a drone, according to the country's National Armed Forces (NBS), Latvia's military. The information was given to the news agency LETA.

The source does not say what the object actually was, where it came from or in which part of the country it was noticed. It also does not mention whether any additional security measures were taken in connection with the incident.

The clarification matters because the appearance of unmanned aerial vehicles in a country's airspace usually draws heightened attention. In this case, the armed forces ruled out a drone as the explanation.
