Lithuania's government has declared a national emergency over security risks posed by meteorological balloons sent from Russia-allied Belarus that have violated its airspace in recent weeks.
Lithuania's State Border Guard Service approach a balloon in its border region with Belarus. Here, a video was taken of a balloon landing.
The balloons have forced Lithuania to repeatedly shut down its main airport stranding thousands of people.
In October, Lithuanian authorities closed two border crossings in response to airspace violations.
The Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko denounced the border closures calling the move a 'mad scam' and part of a 'hybrid war' against his country.
