Lithuania's Prime Minister Gintautas Paluckas and Parliament Speaker Saulius Skvernalis were briefly moved to bomb shelters in response to the object entering Lithuanian airspace, according to their spokesmen.

NATO Baltic airspace control planes were sent to the area but were withdrawn after the object fell to the ground a kilometer from the border, armed forces spokesman Gintautas Tsiunis told a news conference, Reuters reports.

"The object does not pose any danger now, but we still don't know what its purpose was," he said. Investigations are continuing to determine what it was used for and where it came from, and the Lithuania Ministry of Defense said it looks like someone made the drone at home.

In September last year, a Russian military drone carrying explosives, possibly intended for use in Ukraine, crashed in Latvia about 90 kilometers from the border with Belarus.
