Impact verdict
Medium impact. The resignation of a NATO Baltic state's prime minister amid conflict spillover drone incidents signals elevated political instability in a strategically sensitive region, with potential implications for war risk and political risk underwriters active in the Baltics. However, direct insured property or casualty losses from the drone incidents themselves appear limited based on available reporting.
