Lithuania Plans Bridge Demolitions on Borders with Belarus and Russia
Construction work is underway on bridges near the Belarusian border in Lithuania as part of fortification measures agreed upon last July. This initiative, confirmed by the Lithuanian Armed Forces, is part of preparations for a Baltic defense line along the borders with Russia and Belarus, involving the installation of engineering structures for explosives on key bridges and roads. The military is also establishing storage sites for anti-tank obstacles, planting protective trees, and deepening irrigation ditches. Officials are aiming to balance defensive actions with a need to avoid causing panic, emphasizing the importance of consistent communication and long-term preparedness, as stated by Major Gintautas Ciunis of the Lithuanian Armed Forces Strategic Communications Department.
