That is according to Delfi, Ukrinform reports.

"The downed drone has not yet been found. I think it will be found soon, and then it will become clear what kind of aircraft it was and who it belonged to. Most likely, experts will even be able to trace its target through its microchips," Sinkevicius said in an interview with LNK zinios.

Asked by a journalist whether the drone incident was a "false flag" operation, the Lithuanian prime minister replied: "What you are talking about cannot be ruled out, but there is no evidence of that yet."

It was reported that last week, Lithuanian National Defense Minister Robertas Kaunas said the country's intelligence services had information indicating that Russia was considering possible provocations in the Baltic region. However, no final decision had been made and no specific date had been set.

According to him, the Kremlin is considering the possibility of striking critical infrastructure facilities in the Baltic states, and Russia may potentially use Ukrainian drones for such operations.

Such an action would constitute a so-called false flag operation, in which a state carries out an action while creating the appearance that it was carried out by another country.

The Latvian military said that on the night of Friday, August 14, fighter jets from NATO allied countries successfully shot down a drone that had entered Latvian airspace.
