Lithuania to increase security at critical infrastructure, prime minister says

Lithuania ​will boost the security around critical infrastructure sites, ‌its prime minister said on Monday, following an attempted arson attack on a Starlink base ‌station on the outskirts of Vilnius that authorities ‌said was sabotage linked to Russia.

Lithuanian government and security officials met to discuss the situation ⁠following ​a ⁠suspected drone explosion and Sunday's Starlink incident amid concerns ⁠in the region that the war in Ukraine ​is spilling across NATO's northern borders. "We ⁠agreed to increase the level of preparedness ⁠at ​critical infrastructure objects which are important to the country... we will devote a ⁠larger number of forces and more attention to ⁠the objects," ⁠Prime Minister Mindaugas Sinkevicius said on Monday.
