      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330458970/latvian-prime-minister-silina-resigns-over-handling-of-ukraine-drone-incidents</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Latvia’s centre-right ​Prime Minister Evika Silina said ‌she would resign on Thursday, triggering the collapse of her coalition government ​just months before an ​election is due in October.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I am ⁠resigning, but I am not ​giving up,” she said in ​a televised statement.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Latvian President Edgars Rinkevics, who is tasked by the constitution to ​select a leader of the ​government, will meet all parliamentary parties on ‌Friday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Silina, ⁠of the centre-right New Unity party, was left without a ruling majority in the parliament on ​Wednesday after ​the left-wing ⁠Progressives party said it was withdrawing its support.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The ​decision followed the firing over ​the ⁠weekend of Progressives’ Defence Minister Andris Spruds over the handling of ⁠incidents ​involving stray Ukrainian ​drones flying into Latvia from Russia.&lt;/p&gt;
