Today, over two NATO countries, jets raced across the skies to shoot down drones.

It's the latest example of at least a half a dozen drone incursions in the Baltics just in the last week.

The nations along NATO's eastern flank have long been on the front line against Russian aggression,

Estonian field were Ukrainian, not Russian.

And this week in Lithuania, suspected Ukrainian drones forced government leaders to shelter in a bunker beneath Parliament.

The first time that's happened in a NATO capital, since Russia launched its full-scale invasion

of Ukraine more than four years ago.

chose their own incorrect targets.
