“Notices about allegedly planted explosives are a bit different this time, and the form is also different – voice calls or automated recordings are received instead of letters. There are no clear indications that this is a continuing attack yet,” NKVC informed journalists.
According to the center, services respond to reports and deal with the situation, recommendations are provided to institutions, premises are inspected.
“Currently, upon receiving such a message, it is recommended to call 112 and follow the instructions of the authorities,” the comment states.
The police are conducting a pre-trial investigation and are trying to identify the people making the false reports.
On Monday, the authorities received several false calls about explosives at the Kaunas Hydroelectric Power Plant, as well as at Vilnius and Kaunas Airports – the latter were false, and the Kaunas Hydroelectric Power Plant is still under investigation. Last week, it was also reported that an explosive device had been planted at the capital’s airport, but the information was not confirmed.
A month ago, Lithuanian institutions received thousands of e-mails with fake threats about allegedly planted explosives in schools, kindergartens, and municipal buildings, such reports also poured in in Latvia and Estonia. None of them came true.
