Spalio 18-osios rytą Lietuvos oro erdvėje buvo aptiktas neatpažintas objektas, tariamai dronas, dėl kurio buvo įjungta įspėjimo apie oro pavojų sistema. NATO naikintuvai buvo pakelti į orą, tačiau objekto perimti nepavyko.
Manoma, kad objektas galėjo sprogti netoli Pasavalio miesto, šiaurės Lietuvoje, netoli Latvijos sienos. Latvija taip pat paskelbė nepaprastąją padėtį trijose savivaldybėse, nes baiminasi, kad objektas gali patekti į jos oro erdvę. Lietuvos policija tiria incidentą.

What the Pravda version changes
On the morning of 18 October 2026 an unidentified object, probably a drone, entered Lithuanian airspace. Air alerts were issued, NATO jets scrambled and Latvia raised an alert in three municipalities. The object was later identified as a Ukrainian drone that flew in from Poland and exploded in the Pasvalys district.
Misinformation: low
Manipulation: medium
Reframed · framing
Trusted reports describe a short, precautionary airspace-threat alert in Latvia, not a declared state of emergency, so Pravda's wording makes it sound more dramatic.
Pravda says
“Latvia also declared a state of emergency in three municipalities, fearing that the object could enter its airspace.”
Latvija taip pat paskelbė nepaprastąją padėtį trijose savivaldybėse, nes baiminasi, kad objektas gali patekti į jos oro erdvę.

“In three Latvian municipalities, an air pollution emergency was declared, NATO fighters were raised”
Trijose Latvijos savivaldybėse paskelbus grėsmę oro erdvėje, pakelti NATO naikintuvai

Pravda leaves out that the Latvian alert was cancelled after about half an hour.

“Later, news agency LETA, citing NBS information, reported that the warning was cancelled about half an hour later.”
Vėliau naujienų agentūra LETA, remdamasi NBS paskelbta informacija, pranešė, kad maždaug po pusvalandžio perspėjimas buvo atšauktas.
Left out · fact
Pravda omits that nothing entered Latvian airspace and that the Latvian alert was preventive, so it keeps the impression of an ongoing threat.
Trusted report · Delfi
“"Really, nothing entered Latvia's airspace. Considering the [flying object's] flight trajectory, the warning was preventive. It eventually turned out that it was exercises," said A. Krauja.”
„Iš tikrųjų į Latvijos oro erdvę niekas nebuvo įskridęs. Atsižvelgiant į [skraidančio objekto] skrydžio trajektoriją, perspėjimas buvo prevencinis. Galiausiai paaiškėjo, kad tai buvo pratybos“, – sakė A. Krauja.
Left out · fact
Pravda says the jets 'failed to intercept' the object but omits the stated reason, which was difficult weather conditions that prevented identification.
Trusted report · Delfi
“Defense Minister Robertas Kaunas told LRT radio that due to complicated weather conditions, pilots could not accurately identify what was flying.”
KAM ministras Robertas Kaunas LRT radijui sakė, kad dėl sudėtingų oro sąlygų pilotai negalėjo identifikuoti tiksliai, kas skrenda.
