Lithuania has declared a national emergency due to security risks posed by an influx of balloons allegedly smuggled from Belarus. The situation has led to multiple disruptions at Vilnius Airport, which temporarily closed its airspace in response to the balloon incursions. The Lithuanian government has expressed outrage over these events, prompting discussions among NATO allies regarding security measures and potential sanctions against Belarus. The Interior Minister described the situation as a hybrid attack, stressing the need for immediate action to protect national airspace and maintain public safety.
