Overview
- Lithuanian officials said they stopped an overnight arson attempt on a company that stores Starlink gear on Sunday and officers found containers of incendiary liquid at the site.
- The government had warned the company of potential attacks and had stepped up security, which officials say prevented major damage or disruption to operations.
- A drone crashed and exploded in northern Lithuania near the Latvian border on Oct. 18, damaging a passing car while investigators work to determine whether the drone carried explosives or who owned it.
- Prime Minister Mindaugas Sinkevičius said he will convene the National Security Commission on Monday to review both incidents and consider giving services extra powers to neutralize drones.
- Authorities and prosecutors are treating the events as part of a pattern of suspected sabotage across Europe that has hit facilities in Poland and Bulgaria and could raise diplomatic and NATO security questions as investigators seek forensic proof and legal attribution.
