NATO conducts maneuvers near Kaliningrad amid Russian strikes on Kyiv

NATO forces have staged military maneuvers near Kaliningrad as Russian air strikes hit Kyiv for a sixth straight day and reports emerge of secret Russian drone bases.
NATO forces have conducted military operations near Russia's Kaliningrad enclave involving US and Norwegian fighter jets, reconnaissance aircraft, and Polish ground units. According to alliance officials, the maneuvers represent standard defensive preparations to maintain readiness. Concurrently, Baltic Air Policing fighters deployed from Latvia, while Finland restricted air and maritime traffic along its eastern border with Russia.
The developments coincide with a sixth consecutive day of Russian aerial bombardment targeting Kyiv and surrounding regions, which resulted in four deaths and 15 injuries. Meanwhile, investigative reports reveal Moscow has established ten secret launch facilities near NATO borders designed to deploy long-range suicide drones, with several locations already operational against Ukrainian targets.
