On the night of 28 February 2024, the Museum of the Occupation of Latvia in Riga was attacked with a Molotov cocktail. A window in the director's office was broken and a lit bottle of incendiary mixture was thrown inside causing damage to the office. The museum stated the attack is on the museum and on the foundations of the Latvian state, constitution and truth. The director, Solvita Vība, described it as likely a planned attack but confirmed the museum would continue to operate. Latvian President Edgars Rinkēvičs condemned the attack as an attack on the Latvian state and called for swift investigation and punishment. Local media reported a suspect has been detained. The museum has been increasingly targeted over recent years, including vandalism in April 2023 and public political and legal challenges to its exhibitions and narrative about Soviet and Nazi occupation. The institution is dedicated to remembering Latvia's history under Soviet and German National Socialist regimes from 1940 to 1991.
