NATO fighter jets shot down an unmanned aerial vehicle that entered Lithuanian airspace overnight, according to officials on Tuesday. The incident occurred a day after the head of NATO warned that Russian strikes near the alliance's territory would only increase Western support for Ukraine.

Separately, a Russian drone strike hit a train near Ukraine's border with Poland as a group of former Western officials, including a former CIA figure, traveled out of the country. Analysts and officials described the border strike as a clear escalation by Moscow that puts NATO neighbors on edge, regardless of intent.
