The leaders of Lithuania and Latvia warned that Russia may be planning attacks on infrastructure in the Baltic states or Poland. The warning is the latest in a series of alarms raised by leaders along NATO's eastern flank.
The leaders suggested Russia may be trying to test the alliance's response and resilience as the war in Ukraine drags on for more than four years. Such warnings have reignited debate over strengthening security measures in the region.
NATO's eastern-flank allies have recently tightened protections for critical systems such as energy lines, communications infrastructure and transport networks. Analysts say the repeated warnings could accelerate coordination and deterrence discussions within the alliance.
