Latvia's coalition government has collapsed, just months before an election due in October. Prime Minister Evika Silina announced her resignation on Thursday, following the handling of stray Ukrainian drone incidents. Her decision came after the Progressives party withdrew support on Wednesday, leaving her without a ruling majority, after Defence Minister Andris Spruds was fired.
