Unmarked armed group operating with radio communications near Latvian law enforcement reported on April 10, 2024.
On April 10, 2024, a Twitter thread by Artis Schlossberg highlighted an incident involving a group operating with a handheld radio device in Latvia. The radio reportedly fell from a member of the group during an encounter, suggesting coordinated surveillance or communication to report movements of law enforcement or security forces. Visual evidence showed an individual wearing a distinct gaiter (neck mask) and a specific radio model was identified via social media verification. This incident indicates covert paramilitary activity involving unmarked individuals likely performing reconnaissance or signaling around Latvian security personnel, raising concerns about hybrid warfare tactics in the region.
Confidence: High
The event involves an armed unmarked group using radio communications to monitor law enforcement in Latvia, a clear sign of hostile paramilitary activity consistent with Russia’s hybrid warfare tactics. No defensive or preparatory actions by allied forces were described.
