Six foreign nationals charged in Lithuania for failed 2024 arson attack on military supplies for Ukraine, linked to Russia's GRU.
In 2024, six foreign nationals were charged with terrorism in Lithuania for attempting arson attacks targeting military supplies destined for Ukraine. The suspects, from Spain, Colombia, Cuba, Russia, and Belarus, allegedly acted on orders from Russia's GRU military intelligence. The targets included Lithuanian company TVC Solutions and mobile radio stations produced for the Ukrainian armed forces. Two suspects fled to Latvia and were detained; others attempted a second attack and assessment trip but were arrested. Four more suspects are under investigation, and international arrest warrants have been issued. The suspects are also linked to arson attacks in the Czech Republic, Romania, and Poland involving buses, warehouses, and energy infrastructure.
Confidence: High
The event involves an orchestrated failed arson attack on military equipment destined for Ukraine, linked directly to Russian military intelligence (GRU), constituting hostile hybrid activity.
