Vilmantas Vitkauskas, head of Lithuania's National Crisis Management Centre, warned that Russia is exploiting drone incidents from the night of November 10 to 11 to spread disinformation. Ukrainska Pravda reported that Vitkauskas said claims circulating on social media that Lithuania was letting Ukrainian drones use its airspace to fly towards Russia were completely false. He also pointed to social media calls urging people to ignore government warnings, and said it was hard to tell whether they were spread deliberately or out of ignorance. On that night, residents of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania received air-raid warnings about drones entering their airspace during a Ukrainian attack on the Russian port of Ust-Luga, one of Russia's main ports for shipping oil via the shadow fleet. Vitkauskas stressed that official warnings, especially from the Lithuanian Armed Forces, aim to protect lives, and urged residents to heed them. He announced a National Security Commission meeting on Wednesday on shelter availability, opening procedures and centralised management. The warning did not include specific examples of the disinformation.
