Kaunas Airport suspended operations after navigation signals characteristic of balloons were detected in Lithuanian airspace. Restrictions were imposed on the evening of October 24 and lifted overnight on October 25.
The airspace restrictions took effect at 11:37 p.m. on October 24. The airport administration said the incident was caused by a hybrid attack from Belarus involving the detection of navigation signals characteristic of balloons in areas posing a risk to aviation.
