• Investigators conducted more than 30 searches in Lithuania, Poland, Latvia and Estonia, seizing further devices believed to be prepared for additional attacks.
• Four parcels were posted in Vilnius on July 19, 2024, and routed via DHL and DPD with timed incendiary devices concealed in items such as massage cushions and cosmetic tubes.
