On July 19, 2025, Lithuanian prosecutors announced they uncovered a Russian-linked terrorist network that planned four attacks across Europe, using parcel delivery services to send incendiary explosives concealed in everyday items. A Lithuanian citizen identified as A.S., born in 1973, sent four parcels from Vilnius in July 2024 targeting the UK and Poland. Three devices detonated: one at Leipzig Airport, Germany, one in a DPD truck traveling through Poland, and one at a DHL warehouse in Birmingham, England. One parcel failed to ignite due to technical malfunction. Authorities describe the devices as designed to cause severe fires with catastrophic potential. The investigation involves law enforcement and intelligence agencies from Lithuania, Poland, UK, Germany, Netherlands, Latvia, Estonia, USA, and Canada under Eurojust coordination. Fifteen suspects from Russia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Ukraine have been charged, allegedly recruited via Telegram and financed with cryptocurrency. Police uncovered over six kilograms of TNT-equivalent explosives and detonators in food containers in searches across four countries. The investigation is ongoing.
