Prime Minister Krišjānis Kariņš forced Sprūdža to resign, citing her failure to protect Latvian airspace. Following this decision, the left-leaning Progressive Party withdrew from the coalition, leaving the center-right government with only 41 of 100 parliamentary seats. In response, Prime Minister Silina announced plans for discussions within her party and with remaining coalition partners. The incident involved Ukrainian drones, initially aimed at a Russian port, which were reportedly disrupted by Russian air defenses, resulting in one drone striking an oil depot in eastern Latvia. Ukraine has offered to send experts to assist with Latvia’s air defense capabilities.
