It probably entered Lithuanian territory from the side of Belarus.<\/p>\n<p> At 4.25 the object left Lithuanian airspace and was in the Kaliningrad region. After receiving information from radars, the situation was immediately assessed, but the available data was insufficient to accurately determine the type of object. The direction of its movement and other data did not indicate an immediate threat to the inhabitants of Lithuania and other objects.<\/p>\n<p> Recall that Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda said that <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/u-lytvi-poperedyly-pro-mozhlyvi-provokatsii-rosii-proty-krain-nato\/\">Russia could be preparing provocations in Poland or the Baltic states to test NATO unity<\/a> .
