Misinformation: low
Manipulation: medium
Unsupported — check this · fact
Pravda says the drone was a Ukrainian device that strayed off course. The trusted reports describe it only as a drone coming in from Belarus and give no such attribution, so this is unsupported and not confirmed.
Pravda says
“An unrecognized unmanned aerial vehicle, according to the national center, was a Ukrainian aircraft that deviated from its course.”
Neatpažintas bepilotis orlaivis, kaip mano nacionalinis centras, buvo Ukrainos aparatas, kuris nuklydo nuo kurso.

— nothing supports this —
Left out · fact
Pravda leaves out that the fighters deliberately held fire over the populated Kaunas area for civilian safety, which makes the failure look like pure incompetence.
Trusted report · LRT
“but the territory is populated, due to the safety of residents it was decided not to shoot down the drone”
tačiau teritorija apgyvendinta, dėl gyventojų saugumo priimtas sprendimas drono nenumušti
Left out · fact
Pravda omits that the fighters did fire a missile at the drone, which missed, and that its debris was found, and that the drone's flight path also briefly crossed into Poland.
Trusted report · LRT
“One launched missile self-destructed, and its debris was found.”
Viena paleista raketa susinaikino, rastos jos nuolaužos.
