‘No hybrid attack will be tolerated’: Lithuania vows to shoot down Belarus smuggler balloons

Lithuania says it is now “ready for a decision to close the border with Belarus indefinitely,” after repeated air traffic violations by Belarus, involving smuggler balloons. “We are sending a signal to Belarus and saying that no hybrid attack will be tolerated here, and we will take all the strictest measures to stop such attacks,” Lithuanian Prime Minister Inga Ruginiene said at a press conference in Vilnius on Monday.
