Vilnius airport temporarily halted operations on October 25 after unidentified balloons were detected in its airspace, according to reports. The incident disrupted traffic, with eight incoming flights redirected to other domestic airports. Authorities indicated the balloons were linked to smuggling activities, specifically carrying illicit cigarettes. Earlier this month, similar closures occurred when dozens of such balloons were spotted, raising concerns about cross-border contraband routes. No further details on the investigation or responsible parties were immediately disclosed.
