Ukrainian drones stray into Baltic airspace, raising tensions as Kyiv targets Russian ports handling nearly 40% of national oil and gas exports

Ukrainian drones have strayed into Baltic countries' airspace in recent weeks. Kyiv and the Baltic states have confirmed the drones are Ukrainian but blame Russia for causing deviations using electronic defenses that jam or spoof signals.

Ukraine is using exploding drones to hit Russian Baltic ports. These ports handle nearly 40% of Russia's national oil and gas exports, part of Kyiv's effort to land heavier blows on Russia four years after Moscow's full-scale invasion.

The incursions are sowing confusion and raising tensions with Russia at a time when U.S. commitment to NATO's collective security is in question.
