Latvian Prime Minister Evika Silina has resigned after her coalition collapsed amid a political crisis linked to stray Ukrainian drones entering Latvian airspace.
The incidents, which triggered security concerns, also led to the dismissal of the defense minister over delayed anti-drone measures. The loss of coalition support ended Siliņa's parliamentary majority, highlighting growing political pressure over national security.
