Denmark has accused a Russian warship of firing two emergency flares at one of its helicopters while it was tracking the vessel in the Baltic Sea.
The Danish government has summoned the Russian ambassador over the incident, which it said happened during a "routine" monitoring operation on Monday.
Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen branded the Russian action "reckless" and said it was designed to "intimidate and divide".
Authorities said the drone likely entered southern Lithuania, near the second-largest city of Kaunas, from neighbouring Belarus shortly after midnight on Tuesday.
