A Russian vessel entered Estonian territorial waters without permission. The head of Russia's diplomatic mission was summoned, according to the press service of Estonia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Russian embassy's chargé d'affaires was summoned to "issue a protest and present a formal note" in response to the violation of Estonia's maritime border.
The ministry stated that the incident occurred near Vaindloo Island, where, on July 26, a Russian border patrol vessel entered Estonian territorial waters without permission.
"The violation of Estonia's maritime border by Russia is a serious and unacceptable incident. This message was also conveyed to the chargé d'affaires of Russia," said Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna.
Drone flew over Lithuania
On the morning of July 28, an unidentified drone entered Lithuanian airspace from the territory of Belarus.
Videos posted online show that the drone that entered Lithuania appears visually similar to a Shahed.
In response, Lithuania's military command decided to strengthen air defense along the border with Belarus by installing additional systems.
