Latvian Prime Minister Evika Silina announced her resignation on Thursday following a dispute with her junior coalition partner over how the armed forces handled a drone incursion last week.

“I resign, but I do not give up,” said Silina at a press conference in the capital Riga, accusing her junior partner the Progressives of choosing “political jealousy and narrow party interests” over responsibility.
