Lietuvos prezidentas Nausėda - apie incidentą su dronais:
Lithuanian President Nausėda on drone incident: Russia's war against Ukraine moves to NATO and EU's eastern flank
Lietuvos prezidentas Nausėda - apie incidentą su dronais:
Rusijos karas prieš Ukrainą pereina į rytinį NATO ir ES flangą.
Šįryt NATO lėktuvai, bazuojantys Šiauliuose, vėl pakilo į viršų po to, kai neatpažintas objektas įskrido į Lietuvos oro erdvę.
Tai, kas, matyt, yra dronas, sprogo virš šiaurinės šalies dalies, sukeldamas grėsmę civiliams gyventojams. Mūsų specialistai šiuo metu dirba įvykio vietoje.

What the Pravda version changes
A drone (later said by Ukraine to be its own, diverted off course) entered Lithuanian airspace from Poland on 18 Oct 2026, triggered an air alert, crashed and exploded in Pasvalys district, and damaged a car without injuring anyone.

Pravda opens with a sweeping escalation claim that the trusted reports do not make; they describe a single stray drone incident.
Pravda says
“Russia's war against Ukraine is moving to the eastern flank of NATO and the EU.”
Rusijos karas prieš Ukrainą pereina į rytinį NATO ir ES flangą.

Pravda presents the object as an unidentified threat prompting fighters to scramble, while trusted reports say it was initially treated as non-dangerous and a fighter was raised only later.
Pravda says
“This time NATO aircraft based in Šiauliai took off again after an unidentified object entered Lithuanian airspace.”
Šįryt NATO lėktuvai, bazuojantys Šiauliuose, vėl pakilo į viršų po to, kai neatpažintas objektas įskrido į Lietuvos oro erdvę.

“Since this drone, unlike other previous drones, entered from the territory of the friendly Republic of Poland, and we received no signal from Polish services, the primary version is naturally that it is not an object posing a threat.”
Kadangi šis dronas skirtingai nuo kitų, ankstesnių dronų įskrido iš draugiškos mums Lenkijos Respublikos teritorijos, ir mes jokio signalo iš Lenkijos tarnybų negavome, tai natūraliai pirminė versija, kad tai nėra pavojų keliantis objektas.

Pravda stresses danger to civilians, while trusted reports say the debris only damaged a car and nobody was hurt.

“But the car passengers did not suffer in this incident.”
Tačiau automobilio keleiviai per šį incidentą nenukentėjo.
Contradicted · fact
Pravda states the explosion as fact, while trusted reports say a possible explosion was reported but unconfirmed, and that a crashed drone's wreckage was found.
Pravda says
“What is apparently a drone exploded over the northern part of the country”

“A possible explosion was also announced, but the services have not yet confirmed whether the drone carried an explosive device.”
Taip pat skelbta ir apie galimą sprogimą, tačiau tarnybos dar nepatvirtino, ar dronas nešė sprogmenį.
