NATO jets scramble after drones enter Baltic airspace during strikes on Russia

NATO scrambled fighter jets overnight after at least four drones entered Baltic airspace during Ukrainian strikes on Russian targets, including the Kirishi oil refinery near St. Petersburg. The cross-border incursions prompted Baltic nations to trigger air alarms, which were later lifted, while Finland imposed temporary airspace and maritime restrictions.

Inside Russia, the Kirishi refinery—the country's second-largest fuel processing facility—suffered explosions and a fire following the drone strikes. Local authorities reported the blaze was extinguished, but one woman was killed by falling drone debris.
