Baltic Drone Row Escalates: Latvia’s President Edgars Rinkēvičs and Ukraine’s foreign ministry both rejected Russia’s latest claim that Riga allowed Kyiv to launch drone strikes from Latvian territory, calling it outright lies and part of a wider propaganda push. NATO Air Policing in Focus: In Estonia, a NATO jet (Romanian F-16) shot down a suspected Ukrainian drone after air-raid warnings, with Estonia saying the incident likely involved Russian electronic jamming; Ukraine apologized for the “unintended” event and said it never sought permission to use Baltic airspace. Latvia’s Domestic Fallout: The drone controversy has already triggered political shock in Riga, including resignations and disrupted public life, as alerts again hit eastern districts. Business & Tech: French AI giant Mistral AI agreed to buy Austrian startup Emmi AI, co-founded by Latvian entrepreneur Miks Miksons. Sports: Austria beat Latvia 3-1 at the ice hockey worlds; Norway blanked Italy 4-0.
