> A US-registered NATO reconnaissance aircraft spent nearly five hours circling the Kaliningrad Region, flying through Polish and Lithuanian airspace and over international waters in the Baltic Sea. A source said it was the aircraft’s second circuit around the Russian region this week; it has completed its mission and is returning to base.
