Helium balloons enter its airspace/ Lithuania closes Vilnius airport and border

Lithuania, a NATO member state, has closed Vilnius airport and the border with Belarus after several objects, identified as helium balloons, entered its airspace.

The news was announced by the National Crisis Management Center, and it is reported that this is the fourth such incident within this week.

Lithuania has said the balloons are being sent by smugglers carrying contraband cigarettes, but it also blames Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, for failing to stop the practice. The border with Belarus will remain closed pending a meeting of Lithuania's National Security Committee on Monday. /CNA
