On 16 July, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania summoned the Chargé d'Affaires of the Republic of Belarus and handed him a diplomatic note expressing strong protest over the unlawful entry of a Russian-made Gerbera drone from the Republic of Belarus into the airspace of the Republic of Lithuania on 10 July of this year.

The drone crashed within Lithuanian territory, approximately one kilometre from the state border. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Lithuania firmly demands that the Republic of Belarus urgently provide an explanation for this incident and take all necessary measures to prevent such incidents from recurring in the future.
