Over 300 educational institutions in Estonia and several in Latvia received bomb threat letters claiming Estonia and Latvia are part of Russia, attributed to the group "Pribaltiyskiy Vilayat."
On and before October 12, 2023, multiple educational institutions in Latvia and over 300 in Estonia received threatening letters claiming planted explosive devices and asserting Latvian and Estonian territories are 'originally Russian.' The letters include threats of bomb detonations at specified times and express violent intentions. Responsibility is claimed by the terrorist group 'Pribaltiyskiy Vilayat,' which is active on Telegram with a closed chat. The threats aim to intimidate and destabilize the region's civilian educational infrastructure.
Confidence: High
Classified as aggressor event because the incident involves explicit threats of bombings and terrorist claims by a known hostile group 'Pribaltiyskiy Vilayat' linked to Russian intelligence, targeting civilian educational institutions in Estonia and Latvia. No defense preparation actions reported.
