Lithuanian prosecutors have accused Russian military intelligence of orchestrating an arson attack on an IKEA store in Vilnius last year. Authorities believe the suspects, including one who was underage at the time, acted on behalf of Russian intelligence and were planning further attacks in neighboring Latvia. Some reports suggest the store may have been targeted due to its blue and yellow branding, which matches the colors of the Ukrainian flag. The incident is part of a broader pattern of suspected Russian sabotage in the region. Lithuania continues to investigate potential links to other acts of sabotage.
