Lithuanian military intelligence has information indicating that Russia may use Ukrainian-made drones to attack critical infrastructure in the Baltic states, LRT reports.
According to Lithuanian intelligence, Russia may use captured Ukrainian drones to conceal the true origin of an attack and deny its involvement in possible strikes on the territory of NATO countries.
The information was also confirmed by Lithuanian Defense Minister Robertas Kaunas.
"We have data that Russia is considering conducting unconventional kinetic attacks against critical infrastructure in the Baltic region," the defense minister said.
At the same time, Kaunas did not disclose which specific facilities could become targets or when such attacks could potentially take place.
It is worth noting that Poland's government committee on national security recently discussed possible scenarios involving a Russian false flag operation, including the use of drones disguised as Ukrainian ones.
In addition, leaders of NATO's eastern flank countries recently publicly warned about possible Russian provocations, citing intelligence indicating preparations for such actions.
Recently, Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski warned that a cornered Putin could resort to something risky.
It became known that the Kremlin is escalating tensions and planning a series of new sabotage operations.
Moreover, it emerged that Putin is preparing a test for Britain's new prime minister.
