A general station reporter learned on the 13th local time that Lithuanian radar mistakenly identified a group of birds as drone targets on the same day, causing Lithuania's Vilnius Airport to close briefly, and NATO forces urgently dispatched at least one fighter. The Lithuanian National Crisis Management Center said that during the initial detection of the radar, the bird swarm had a similar trajectory to the drone. After a NATO fighter jet stationed in Lithuania took off to identify the target, the air alert was lifted, and the airport soon reopened.
