TALLINN - The Vilnius-Riga-Tartu-Tallinn train is delayed on Tuesday as a drone threat alert has halted rail traffic in northern Latvia.

"Passengers on the 10:51 a.m. train from Tallinn (Tallinn-Tartu-Riga-Vilnius) will travel by train to Valga, where they will have to wait for the Vilnius train arriving from Cesis," said Kristo Mae, communications manager at Elron. "On the Valga-Tartu section, the journey will be substituted with a bus or another train, depending on the schedule."
