VILNIUS (Reuters) -Lithuania's parliament granted the Baltic country's armed forces powers on Tuesday to shoot down any unmanned drone violating its airspace following incidents in which it said two Russian drones crashed on its territory.
Lithuania's army is currently able to target drones only if they are determined to be armed or pose an imminent danger to objects important to the state.
