Lithuania Closes Airport and Border Amid Rising Airspace Tensions

 

Lithuania temporarily shut down Vilnius International Airport and sealed its border with Belarus on Sunday after a fourth airspace violation in just one week. Authorities reported that unidentified balloons, suspected to be linked to cigarette smuggling operations from Belarus, crossed into Lithuanian territory, forcing emergency measures.

Flights at Vilnius were suspended for several hours, causing delays and diversions, while border crossings with Belarus were closed indefinitely. Prime Minister Inga Ruginienė described the incursions as part of a “hybrid attack” and announced that Lithuania will now intercept and destroy any balloons entering its skies.

The incidents highlight growing friction between Lithuania, a NATO member, and neighboring Belarus, which has long been accused of enabling smuggling and destabilizing tactics. Officials warn that even low-tech incursions can disrupt critical infrastructure and raise security concerns across the region.
