NATO conducts maneuvers near Kaliningrad as Russian strikes hit Kyiv
US-led NATO forces held operations near Kaliningrad as Russian strikes targeted Kyiv for a sixth day and reports surfaced of Russian drone bases near NATO borders.
NATO forces led by the United States have conducted operations near Russia's Kaliningrad enclave, deploying fighter jets, surveillance aircraft, and ground units. Alliance representatives described the activity as a standard effort to maintain defensive readiness. Concurrently, Baltic air-patrol jets scrambled from Latvia, while Finland implemented traffic restrictions along its eastern border.
The heightened activity occurred alongside a sixth consecutive day of Russian bombardments against Kyiv, which killed four people, injured 15 others, and prompted air raid warnings across Ukraine.
Separately, an investigative report revealed that Russia has established 10 operational launch sites near NATO borders for long-range kamikaze drones, with several facilities actively deployed against Ukrainian targets.
