NATO heightens Baltic maneuvers following strikes in Ukraine and drone report

US-led NATO forces have conducted heightened military activities around Russia's Kaliningrad enclave, featuring fighter jets from the US and Norway alongside Polish ground units and reconnaissance aircraft. NATO described the deployment as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen defensive readiness. The moves coincided with NATO Baltic Air Policing jets scrambling in Latvia and Finland implementing traffic limits along its border with Russia.

The regional developments follow a sixth straight day of Russian aerial bombardments on Kyiv, which left four people dead and 15 injured. Meanwhile, a British media investigation revealed that Russia has constructed ten covert launch facilities near NATO borders. The sites house long-range kamikaze drones, several of which have already been utilized in air raids against targets in Ukraine.
