russian propaganda outlets are spreading disinformation claiming that in Latvia, a passenger train operating on the Riga\u2013Daugavpils route was allegedly hit by a \u201cUkrainian drone.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u25ab\ufe0f russian sources claim that as a result of the attack on the N\u012bcgale\u2013Vabole section, the engine compartment caught fire and evacuated passengers were allegedly forced to sign non-disclosure agreements. These posts are illustrated with footage of an evacuation from a train where a fire occurred.<\/p>\n
In reality, this is a fake. The video attached to the posts is authentic, but the narrative about \u201cUkrainian drones\u201d is entirely fabricated. A fire in a diesel train occurred on 5 May at N\u012bcgale station, but it was not related to drones. Official statements from Latvian authorities and local media reports contain no information about any UAV-related incidents that day.<\/p>\n
russia has repeatedly created fake narratives about \u201cUkrainian drones\u201d in the Baltic states. The goal of such disinformation is to discredit Ukraine internationally, portray it as a \u201csource of danger\u201d for NATO countries, and divert attention from russia\u2019s own real provocations in the Baltic region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
