In Lithuania, there has been a surge in bomb threat messages targeting schools and the airport
On the morning of June 2, Lithuania saw a wave of reports of alleged bomb threats targeting educational institutions, medical facilities, train stations, and the airport.
Law enforcement officials are already investigating the reports, but no signs of a real threat have been found so far.
According to police, threatening emails were sent in Russian to various institutions across the country.
In the messages, unknown individuals claimed that explosives had been planted in the buildings and that the explosions were supposed to occur two hours after the email was received.
Law enforcement has already received about 40 such messages.
Currently, experts are conducting checks and analyzing the origin of the emails.
Police noted that no actual threat has been identified at this time, but they urged citizens to remain vigilant and report any suspicious circumstances.
Specific recommendations were issued to school administrators and those responsible for security at educational institutions.
Specifically, they have been instructed to inspect the premises of educational institutions, check the facilities for suspicious objects, and immediately contact the police if a potential threat is detected.
Law enforcement agencies are continuing their investigation and identifying individuals involved in the mass dissemination of false bomb threats.
Similar information attacks have been recorded on multiple occasions in the Baltic states and other European countries, where fake reports of explosives are used to attempt to destabilize the operations of government institutions and critical infrastructure.
This was reported by LRT.
Previously, in Slovenia, hundreds of educational institutions received anonymous messages about alleged bomb threats. The letters were sent under the pseudonym Bojevnik and were received by 229 schools and kindergartens in Ljubljana and other cities.
