Ukraine's Foreign Ministry: Drone Incident in Lithuania Likely Caused by Russian Electronic Warfare

Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has stated that the drone incident in Lithuania on 18 October was probably linked to Russian electronic warfare. Such systems disrupt navigation and communication signals, which can cause an unmanned aircraft to veer off its intended course.

According to the ministry, the drone that ended up in Lithuania may have been diverted by Russian electronic warfare. This is the ministry's assessment, and the source provides no further evidence or details of the incident.

Ukraine also said it is ready to provide Lithuania with information about what happened. The report does not specify what data would be shared, how it would be passed on, or whether Lithuanian authorities have responded to the offer.

The statement comes from Ukraine, which has faced intense electronic jamming daily since Russia's invasion. The source does not mention consequences of the incident, any casualties, or an official assessment from Lithuania.
