Political Crisis in Latvia Following Ukrainian Drone Incidents

Latvian Prime Minister Evika Silina has resigned amid a political crisis triggered by multiple incidents involving stray Ukrainian drones crossing into Latvian airspace. The government collapsed after it lost the majority in parliament over its handling of these breaches, igniting widespread controversy and backlash. The resignation follows a week of scandals and tensions, including a recent Ukrainian drone strike on a Baltic fuel depot. The situation has prompted discussions about strengthening air defense among Baltic nations, as officials call for improved coordination and response strategies in light of the escalating incidents.
