Latvian Defense Miniter Andris Spruds announced Thursday that the country is the latest NATO ally to close its airspace along its borders with Russia and Belarus.

Confusion has emerged over Trump administration plans to halt some security assistance funding to European countries along the border with Russia.

Detonations of parcels carried by DHL and DPD in Europe in 2024 were organised and supervised by Russian citizens with ties to Russian military intelligence, Lithuania's general prosecution service and criminal police said on Wednesday.

The decision, affecting hundreds of millions of dollars in U.S. military aid, has alarmed NATO allies and upset U.S. lawmakers who strongly back the alliance.
