What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
Baltic countries have been on high alert after incidents of gas pipeline outages, drone sightings and airspace violations have grown rapidly since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Finland and Sweden both joined Nato following Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, departing from a longstanding policy of non-alignment.
The move came after Denmark's defence intelligence service said Russia is likely to intensify its hybrid war against the West in the coming months in a new threat assessment on Thursday.
