Lithuanian military intelligence reports that Russia is considering using Ukrainian-made drones to conduct unconventional kinetic attacks on critical infrastructure targets in the Baltic region. This tactic aims to obscure responsibility by using captured Ukrainian drones, creating uncertainty and potential false flag operations. Defence Minister Robertas Kaunas confirmed the intelligence assessment and stated that while there is no imminent threat or decided attack date, Moscow is evaluating such provocations. Lithuania has increased security measures at key infrastructure sites, including LNG terminals and electricity interconnections. NATO allies including Poland and Baltic neighbors are also monitoring similar threats. Russia denies planning these attacks and accuses Baltic states of permitting Ukrainian attacks via their airspace, which Lithuania rejects.
