Latvian TV has reported that a Latvian soldier was killed in a drone attack near Lyman in Ukraine's east.

Juris Dalbiņš, former Commander of the Latvian National Armed Forces, confirmed the information concerning the death of the Latvian military volunteer.

"His comrades will make sure that his body is brought to Latvia and buried in accordance with military regulations," Dalbiņš said.

The Latvian media also suggested that the military volunteer may have been killed in the same strike that claimed the life of Estonian Tanel Krieggul, alias "Stinger", on Saturday.
