Nato scrambled jets after drones entered Baltic airspace during Ukrainian attacks on Russia, including a fatal strike on the Kirishi oil refinery.

Nato activated fighter aircraft overnight following the entry of at least four drones into Baltic airspace during a series of Ukrainian long-range strikes against Russian infrastructure. The incursions led Baltic states to issue temporary air raid warnings, while Finland applied short-term restrictions across its airspace and maritime borders.

Simultaneously, Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles targeted the Kirishi oil refinery near St. Petersburg, Russia's second-largest fuel processing site. Local authorities reported that multiple explosions ignited a fire at the facility, which emergency crews later extinguished. Debris from an intercepted drone killed one woman in the surrounding area.
