Italian NATO jets have intercepted and shot down a drone in Lithuanian airspace, a significant new development involving the country's armed forces in an international incident. This comes as domestic attention also turns to new government initiatives, including a proposed 500-euro rental bonus for separated parents set to launch in the autumn, and ongoing discussions about new tax measures.
On the political front, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is demonstrating increasing hesitation regarding military support for Ukraine, while Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini recently met with Italian entrepreneurs working in Russia and made conciliatory remarks towards Moscow. Separately, an investigation is underway into an alleged plot to force Claudio Lotito, the owner of the Lazio football club, to sell his stake.
Adding to the domestic news, Catania Airport remains closed until at least Tuesday morning due to volcanic ash from Mount Etna, extending the disruption for travelers.
