During the early hours of 25 March 2026, Latvian air-defence and early-warning systems detected an unidentified UAV approaching Latvia from Russian territory. Brigadier General Egils Leščinskis said radar indications appeared at approximately 02:19, after which acoustic sensors also tracked the object and an air-defence response team was dispatched. The aircraft flew at relatively low altitude—below approximately one kilometre during parts of its route—and detonated at approximately 02:35 near Dobročina in Krāslava Municipality, before the responding air-defence team could reach an engagement position.
