Baltic airspace alarms cleared after NATO jets respond to drone incursions

Baltic nations cleared air raid alarms after NATO fighter jets scrambled overnight to address multiple drones entering regional airspace during extensive Ukrainian strikes against Russian infrastructure. Four drones strayed into Baltic airspace, leading Finland to temporarily enact maritime and airspace restrictions before returning to standard operations.

The regional alert coincided with a long-range Ukrainian attack on the Kirishi oil refinery near St. Petersburg, Russia's second-largest fuel processing facility. Explosions at the refinery triggered a fire that emergency crews later extinguished. Local authorities reported one woman was killed nearby by falling debris from an intercepted drone.
