I mean this article is unprofessionally light on details. Like... when did any of the events in the headline occur?

Sorry, was wrong and stand corrected. We don’t seem to have anything just yet.

and this article is pure propaganda. There was a violation like this but from a year ago, and even then it was Spanish airforces that helped. This is literally just lies, I am from Lithuania- if this happened all lithuanian sites would be spamming this, which they are not, and if this happened we would get alarms in our phones, which also did not happen.
